QUOTE TO NOTE: "Obviously, I'm not real happy and it's not what we wanted to hear. Dr. (Michael) Lee said it was a three-to-six-week deal whenever you strain your shoulder. We went on the three-week side of it first and now we are going to go with the six-week side of it." -- RHP Brandon Webb, on his extended absence because of a shoulder injury.
