TBF, Schilling was 28 at the time.

Now that Steaks raised the prospect of Halladay being a BULLPEN WEAPON can you see it going down any other way in October

I pretty much have a raging boner for next year.

schilling still thinks he has a significant labrum tear and that they'll find it when they open him up

probably re injured it opening a bag of potato chips

Semantics I guess, but I don't know how you can throw 91 mph with a *significant* labrum tear, though

Roy can cause he eats breakfast not coconut jizz

FOLKS!

jk I love that coconut shit I may move to Hawaii

this is all such great news. Roys injury and decline recently has really depressed, like nothing else in sports before. if he can come back and be great again i'd be thrilled for Roy. this is great great news

add on the fact that he said he'd sign a low market extension if Rube wanted him back? I mean holy shit, no other player in the game would say something like that. I hope anyone who booed get's blown up.

Rube, you're shitty but I know you'll sign Halladay if all goes well. Roy is basically telling you he wants to just stay here at whatever cost fair for the team

I cannot wait for the daily news backpage of a silhouette running up the bleachers at bright house field against the rising dawn son with the headline "Soon..."

When did he say that? It wasn't today. Reporter asked him that, but Roy didn't answer definitively.

my mistake then, I thought I read he had made that comment. even so, it seems likely

yeah i would think it would be kinda difficult to throw that hard too.

Schilling also said that MRIs aren't too great at detecting shoulder damage and that his doctors always gave him the best case scenario when diagnosing him.

I will try and stay optimistic though. Hopefully he'll have the procedure done asap

good news

In addition to Bedard (so far), Rauch, Hoffman, and Carpenter, is at least one additional success story. Curt Schilling apparently had a torn labrum repaired way back in 1995, but went on to toss 183 innings with a 3.19 ERA in 1996

bad news

In a 2004 article in Slate, Baseball Prospectus’ Will Carroll referred to a labrum tear as “baseball’s most fearsome injury.” He mentioned that of 36 pitchers who suffered a torn labrum between 1999 and 2004, only 1, former Expos closer Rocky Biddle, was able to get back to his previous level of performance. ”If pitchers with torn labrums were horses they’d be destroyed” Carroll wrote ominously.

That's from what I linked above. Things have gotten better the last ten years, but any labrum damage is not good... But then again, you're going ot have some labrum damage at his age/pitches thrown. We shall see... I don't think any of this today is great news or cause for celebration. No guarantee he will be fine.

roy doesnt count when talking about other pitchers. thats why its more interesting with what happens to him from here. with any other pitchers that are 35+ years old and getting shoulder surgery, its easy to write them off. Roy has just been in a class of his own during his career, let him face this challenge

will carroll is a boob

imo... closest comp to roy, brandon webb.
