Dr. Scioscia
Manager Mike Scioscia was being pressed for details regarding the surgery that Darin Erstad will undergo once this season ends. Erstad has dealt with bone spurs in his ankle this season that led to tendon irritation and a deterioration of his ankle joint. It was clear Scioscia didn't know everything about what Erstad is about to undergo so he hit the smart-aleck button.
"I think they were talking about a proximal shift of the intervenous joint," Scioscia said. "But I don't know if that's going to get it done. They'regoing to have to go in there and see if that's the direction they want to go."
It almost sounded legit.
"I don't know," Scioscia finally said. "They do have to shave a spur down. That as been defined as the burr in the saddle right now. From there we'll see."
