Brian Wilson May Need Tommy John Surgery: San Francisco Giants closer and beard laureate Brian Wilson has "structural issues" in his right elbow and will likely need surgery, manager Bruce Bochy said. Wilson had Tommy John surgery in 2003 as a college pitcher at LSU.
Too bad. He'll probably wind up taking his crazy act to ESPN. He'd fit in well there.

Right next to Oklahoma's greatest ever high school basketball player?

I'm not sure, but I might have umpired him when he was pitching for Londonderry, NH, High. (No, he wasn't high, I'm talking about the school.) Anyway, it's a tough break for him.

the outcome is much less successful the second time around.
I hope it's not a career-ender for him. He adds a spark to the entire team with his presence as well as his skills, and the Giants will be hard pressed to fill his shoes.

But he's Black Ops!
Read that as "But he's Black Oops! and was wondering what being black had to do with having Tommy John surgery.
Gotta get my eyes checked.

So long as we can agree that Taco Bell is awful for health and humanity, I think we'll be alright, Folkways.

The linked article recently posted here on the elbow procedure said that the outcome is much less successful the second time around.
