Westbrook to have birthmark removed during breast augmentation?

"Westbrook will see hip specialist Dr. Thomas Byrd in Nashville, Tenn., on Thursday to determine if he needs arthroscopic surgery on his right hip."

"It fits real well into our time frame," Soloff said. "He is three months out from the elbow surgery. This would dovetail perfectly into his throwing program."

Soloff should be someone’s campaign manager. I see no way that one surgery can dovetail perfectly in with another surgery as part of a throwing rehabilitation program.

You’re right.

He was also quoted as saying that Westbrook’s decision to have the second surgery has NOTHING to do with the B-3 Bomber.

Come on folks, someone was supposed to say, “There is no B-3 bomber.”

To which I reply.

“Of course there’s no B-3 bomber. I don’t even know how these rumors get started.”

“This is such good news, we almost didn’t want to tell anybody about it,” said Soloff.

I’m not sure how I feel about a man named Byrd in any profession.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

Definitely the headline of the year.

This is one of those moments when a contract would look a lot better with a club option tagged on the end of it.

What’s the use, Westbrook would probably just have that surgically removed too.

“Over time, the body lays down an additional bone to accommodate for a stressful area in the hip,” Soloff said. “That extra bone rubs against the hip joint, which would cause the intermittent symptoms in his hip.”

I am highly incredulous. Seriously, what the heck?

I think this tells you everything you need to know about Soloff’s medical knowledge and his ability to convey information to others.

I don’t think this represents his true knowledge. He’s double-talking here, to throw reporters off the scent. They probably had to amputate Jake’s right leg, and Soloff is vamping, hoping for offseason regeneration.

Actually if you drop the “an” from the from “the body lays down (an) additional bone” the quote makes a lot more sense. This is more likely a misquote due to sloppy reporting than it is Soloff talking BS.
