When the 22-year-old rookie went to the Tigers Training staff about inflammation in his wrist and forearm, they found his pain more consistent with a guitar player than a baseball pitcher. The team asked him to lay off the Guitar Hero, and Zumaya went on to pitch pain-free in the World Series."

It is taking me something like ten minutes to chew and swallow each bite, but damn it tastes good. And throat scratchin' toast, ahhhhh. I am so sick of popsicles, jello, and broth. And they weren't kidding about drinking after this operation; it is so bad I am thinking I should just suck liquids through my nose with a straw (since the liquids come back up and out my nose anyway when I drink by mouth). Frozen stuff seems to go down best.
