Usually the three worst words a pitcher can hear are either:
"Tommy John Surgery" or "Doctor James Andrews"
After visiting the second three in Birmingham earlier today, Atlanta Braves starter Tom Glavine ((pictured, thanks ajc.com)) will not have to hear the first three words in a subsequent sentence.
Tests reveal Glavine's left elbow has no current ligament damage, but he does have a partial tear in his flexor tendon as previously thought. The ligament is intact. Glavine will have surgery on the tendon tomorrow and is expected to be on the shelf for four or five months.
Had the damage been more extensive, Glavine intimated he would retire instead of rehabilitate the elbow.
