No major rotator cuff damage for Schill Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff June 23, 2008 04:39 PM Just got off the phone with Dr. Craig Morgan, the doctor who performed Curt Schilling's surgery this afternoon. He got finished with the procedure about 45 minutes ago (just before 4 p.m.). He said the surgery, and what was found inside the shoulder, was about as good as they could have hoped. Morgan was planning on performing biceps tenodesis surgery, in which the biceps is moved outside the the shoulder into a hole in the bone where the diseased tendon can repair itself. That surgery went as planned. But the major questions were about the labrum and, especially, the rotator cuff. Morgan said the rotator cuff had an usual tear, but not a major one. "The status of the rotator cuff was much better than was predicted," Morgan said. "He did have disease in the biceps tendon, that was his major problem. We transferred the biceps tendon. "[He had an] unusual tear of the rotator cuff, small partial thickness, no separation from the bone. Small undersurface tear. "What we didn't want to find is a big rotator cuff tear, because that's a long rehab." That was fixed, with just a single stitch. The labrum tear was also repaired. As for his prognosis, it could be as soon as four months, Morgan said. The rehab for the labrum tear is very similar to the one for the biceps issue, which means that his rehab won't be significantly altered, even though they had to repair an additional problem during today's surgery. "About four months to a throwing program, if he decides he wants to pursue that," Morgan said. "The rehab after this will be very similar to the rehab that he went through in 1995 when he had the SLAP [surgery to repair a labral tear and to remove a bone spur]. But he was 28 then, he's 41 now. We don't have anything to fix that one."

Posted by Baxter Holmes June 23, 2008 04:21 PM It started to rain shortly before the clubhouse opened up to the media at 3:30 p.m. It subsided now, but The National Weather Service forcast for Boston tonight calls for a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms

Weather update Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff June 23, 2008 04:26 PM Looks like the weather might have an impact on tonight's game as well. Here's the latest update from the Red Sox PR department: The current weather forecast (provided by the Red Sox private weather service, Meteorlogix) in the vicinity of Fenway Park calls for a possibility of scattered rain showers during the afternoon and evening hours. The Fenway Park gates will open at the regularly scheduled time of 5:05 p.m., and the Red Sox hope that tonight’s game with the Arizona Diamondbacks will begin at the scheduled time at 7:05 p.m. However, the Red Sox want to alert our fans to the current forecast and the possibility of delay. This forecast is of course subject to change as the day progresses. Additional updates will be provided as necessary.

Lineups and notes Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff June 15, 2008 10:37 AM CINCINNATI - Happy Father's Day. Manny Ramirez will get one more day of rest of nursing his right hammy. You'll note that both Julio Lugo (stomach flu) and Jason Varitek (strep throat) are back in the lineup but Terry Francona pointed out that he reserves the right to change the lineup if either don't feel well enough to go.

Much better than I expected too....dammit....

I thought so too. He's my second favorite current player behind Manny. I was nervous but psyched! Also saw the Twins v. Guardians at the old Jake (Progressive Field) Wed, very nice ball park. Not a bad seat in the house. Grady Sizemore had a 3 run homer but since they kinda suck right now, they lost. Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame was also very cool. Otherwise, Cleveland does the opposite of "rock" IMO.

Yeah, me too. Folks can't help the looks/genes they were dealt in life, so just trying not to be a bitch about his unfortunateness, but great career for him.

No doubt bro. I'm a chick and 5' 9" or so, couldn't believe how tiny he was although he was sitting down most of the time. Very nice, but unfortunate looking dude. He has a nice gig at ESPN considering their love affair/hard on, etc etc w/ the NFL.

I'll always have nothing but love for Christopher Trotman, good luck Mr. Dirt Dog!

Seriously looks like a bird, with a bad comb over, acne pock marks, glasses. Now that you mention it ORS, I'm pretty sure it was John Clayton. He was trying to get to Seattle. He was drinking white wine and on his lap top, nice guy.
