Many of you may know MMWS son Mike. I was informed by MMWS this week that Mike will have Tommy John surgery on Monday. Please keep him your prayers for a speedy recovery.

Sad news -- a big blow to the Rams and disappointing to Mike and his family. I hope his recovery goes well. With the passion this family has for baseball, I'd bet we'll see MG back on the hill in the future -- stronger than ever.
Prayers of a full and speedy recovery are sent!
Good luck, and DO what the doctor says.

What a shame. MMWS told me last weekend that Mike hurt his elbow and they were going to get it checked out. I know they are disappointed to have this diagnosis. He should come back stronger than ever though. Best of luck to Mike and keep your head up. You'll be back on the mound before you know it.
Shoot!
I know this sounds selfish, but this is terrible news. My son plays with Mike at ASU. It sure seemed like a minor thing last weekend when it happened.
David, sorry to hear the news. Christopher did not tell me. We sure needed him this weekend, losing 2 of 3 at Delta State.
He is in my thoughts that he recovers both mentally and physically.

I talked with Mike and MMWS last week as well - MMWS told me Saturday that the tear was not in the normal part of the elbow and made it more difficult for the doctor to find. MMWS also said that the Doctor really impressed him (if you know MMWS - that guy must be good, MMWS isn't easily impressed)
The rehab to full recovery should be 12 months - so he should be back in time for next springs season!!
Good Luck Mike and good luck to the Rams!

Good Luck Mike and good luck to the Rams!
SWAC - Let us know how the surgery went, today.
Just got off the phone with MMWS. Mike's surgery went very well. He is expected to start throwing in a live game in approximately 12 months. The tear was real bad and would not have healed without surgery. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister and MMWS was very pleased with the outcome. He is expected to pick up several MPH on his fastball making that illegal move to first more dangerous. 
Good luck to Mike in his recovery.

That is great news and I wish him all the best with his recovery.
Glad to hear things went well for Mike today. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
