I flew out to D.C. to see the guy who did my other surgery (on his thumb last year). It was in my best interest to have it done now. They said if there was a month or maybe two months left in the season, I'd be fine.

If there's nervousness about the Fed tomorrow, then why is the Dow up so much?. They're not expected to do anything. Depending on whether they change the language in their statement, you could see the market use it as an excuse to take profits, or an excuse to extend the rally.

It was great to see Tom break out at the plate last week, and even better that he was recognized by the league for it. He has been steady defensively all season, no matter where we've asked him to play. We look forward to his offensive contributions to continue for the last half of the season.
