Originally posted by Erik View PostThe brain tumors removed from Darren Daulton were cancerous.
Former Philadelphia Phillies catcher Darren Daulton has been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, according to his foundation.
...
A Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive malignant brain tumor. They typically spread quickly with tentacle-like projections.
...
Dr. Judy said then even if the tumors are completely removed, there can still be malignant cells left behind, so Daulton will likely also need radiation.
Standard protocol for Glioblastoma is surgery followed by oral chemotherapy along with radiation. However there is no cure.
Even with treatment, the average survival time is 15 months.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

Ben Revere fouled a ball off his right foot and broke it in the first game Saturday. Probably out for a month.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Amaro says he wants to acquire another OF, which doesn't sound like someone who's gonna sell. (Keeping in mind that much of what he says publicly is disinformation.)Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

i think they will buy within reason... I don't think there will be a huge splash. I imagine they are holding back Franco, Biddle, Aschee, Quinn, Joseph, and maybe Martin, and looking to get some RP or some veteran presence in CF with the next level of prospect in their system (which isn't going to get you anything thrilling).I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

1. Win most of their games, go as full-bore as they can at making a run (without giving up the above-named players).
2. Lost most of their games, trade Papelbon for Nick Castellanos and get whatever they can for the Youngs. And trade Utley to the Dodgers if they'll overpay.
Continuing to play .500 ball will frustrate the hell out of everyone.Last edited by Erik; 07-16-2013, 07:55 PM.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
