Via tweet from Gordo. If Ted wants to do it, I think Ted can. (And should.)

I love Lilly's intent.

His drive and competiveness makes him one of my favorite Cubs.

2010 is OUR year.

Cubs need Lilly back (and good) very badly

The “one-two” punch of Gozellaney and Silva on the back end of the rotation is frightening to contemplate. If even for only a month.

But we're going to only win 75 games anyway.

Or has your line changed? If we’re going to suck anyway, why care?

While I don’t like the way that BLou presents some of his opinions, I agree with him that this isn’t an overwhelming squad. I believe that 81-81 might be close to the ceiling – but I HOPE that they do much better. In order to do so, they need a healthy Ted Lilly.

Not to mention

Ted has been the most consistant cub over the last three years.

I love his enthusiasm

But if be pushes too hard and has a set back he’ll really hurt the team

I think Ted is smart enough to know his own body.

Ted's rehab schedule is consistent with what I mentioned on BCB

last year on the day his surgery was announced (my info came from a physical therapist who deals with many professional athletes). I think the “return in May” talk was done to create a real battle for a fifth starter and to give Lilly extra time to rehab, if necessary.

I hope Ted does make it back ASAP. Love his competitive spirit!!

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.
