My Achin' Back: Volume Eleventeen



Randy Johnson is having another season-ending back surgery, but says he still plans on returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks staff for Spring Training "when he's healthy."

Which will probably be never?

"I know I can still pitch," said the Wrinkly Unit. "And I love pitching. It's what I've been doing since I was 7 years old."

Holy crap, Randy. That's almost 4 decades of throwing a baseball as hard as you can. No wonder your spine is about to snap!

Life will be pretty sweet when you're in a wheelchair with a noodle back and one arm. It's time to hang it up, old man... before people forget how awesome you were.

The "Wrinkly Unit" is really going to hurt himself bad one of these days.

These guys all think they're Nolan Ryan or something?
