Today the Cubs stated that perennial bad-ass Ted Lilly underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The Cubs did not realease any information as to whether Ted had surgery at the behest of the CIA or Barack Obama as part a Middle East peace plan or to solve global warming once and for all.
Ted expects to be ready by April.
Uh--don't pitchers and catchers report in February? Don't we need him ready by then?
Game 6 tonight. Pedro v. Pettite.
]]>"The Cubs say Ted will begin a rehab program and will be evaluated after Jan. 1 to see when he can begin a throwing program. They say they're hopeful he can be in the rotation within the month of April.
We’re scheduled to talk with Ted and with Jim Hendry this afternoon. If you remember, Ted had some shoulder issues this year, along with knee surgery.
UPDATE: Ted said he hoped to begin throwing again in four months, which would mean the first part of March, just when Cactus League games are under way.
"The idea is maybe to start throwing in four months or so," he said. "A lot of that is going to be dictated on just how the rehab goes. That can change one way or another. My intention is to get back as soon as I can without setting myself back."

Lilly was our best pitcher this year...he has to have his career ruined now...right? That's that way it works.
]]>Pedro really kind of fell apart there. :(
]]>I love Ted Lilly, but I can't even begin to explain how tired I am of this Ted Lilly as Chuck Norris meme.

Made glorious summer by these sons of New York;
And all the clouds that low'r'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
