....the $50 mark and also my arm.
kinda been depressed the last couple of days. I don't think i've ever been happier with my baseball career, and last saturday i tore my ulnar collateral ligament. I'm seeing the best of the best, he's the head physician for the Texas Rangers baseball club and the Dallas Stars, has been the head physician for the US junior national hockey team, and the University of Florida. It's a partial tear in the distal end of the UCL, which is not good. The ligament is in the shape of a V, and the tear is in the smallest part of the V, where everything comes together. We're somewhat lucky that it's a partial tear. The timing couldn't be any worse.
Basically, i NEED tommy john surgery. However, if i got it today, i would be out for this season and the rest of the next season, because rehab is over a year long. That being said, since it's a partial tear, it's a coinflip whether or not it can heal itself. I can't do anything for 6 weeks, and i can't pitch again for 10. I'm out no matter what for the remainder of this season. What we're trying to save is next season *sigh*. If when i go back in 6 weeks the doc says it's still bad, then i get TJ surgery.
What a break even career. Do above average, then get to a team you like, a team that has a shot at a national title, and you're a significant part of it, and then boom, you can't throw anymore. This sucks fucking balls. 
on a somewhat positive (even though i really couldn't care at this point), i broke the $50 mark on my cake account. Started out on $3.99 on rakeback, now it's at $51.47  suck it recession.
*siggh*
fml
Edit:
i forgot to add this... Since i am such a competitive person and i'm also thoroughly pissed off at my weakness, i'm teaching myself to throw a baseball left handed.
still fml. shouldn't have to be doing this.
