Ed Wade made some comments on the managerial search. Namely, interviews might start before the season ends.
“We haven't really sat down and had the in-depth internal conversations with regard to candidates. In all candor, I don't envision this process beginning before the end of the season. Now don't call me a liar if by some chance if we end up interviewing somebody in the interim. I just don't think it's going to flow at that pace. We'll have our internal discussions and try to come up with a manageable list and then begin the process at some point there after.”

Roy Oswalt, shut down since last week, will head to Dallas to see a back specialist for a second opinion on his jacked up back.
Wade:
“I don't know if you'd call it arthritic changes or just the changes in his back. He's just going to go see. I don't think he's looking for a contrary position but just more information.”
It's still not considered a surgical situation, because that procedure runs the risk of Roy losing feeling in his left leg.

Arias will have arthroscopic surgery on his knee today, to remove a piece of the bone, alleviating the rubbing of a tendon running to his hamstring.
“I'm a bit nervous. I've never had surgery. They're going to remove that little bone right there. I'll be ready to pitch in winter ball in the Dominican.”

We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
