Stephen Strasburg‘s recovery from Tommy John surgery is going swimmingly, he says, and what’s more, he told CBS’s Ted Robinson that he’s feeling great:
“I’m definitely in the best shape of my life … Once you start throwing, it’s gonna be a long process just getting your strength back, but I feel great about it and I have a really good feeling that I’m gonna come back at 100 percent. … The surgery’s down to a science, and you’ve just got to do what the doctors tell you.”
Not the usual best-shape-of-his-life story because a lot of us have underwear older than Strasburg, and guys who play the BSoML card are usually older guys fighting physical decline. But hey, it’s mid-January and nothing is going on so we’ll certainly take it.

I am pretty sure he was in better shape last year, seeing as how he could, you know, throw the ball 100 mph with a 91 mph change.

“Best shape of my life” looks like the early leader for overused sports term of 2011. If it holds on it will beat out 2010′s reigning champion phrase: “At the end of the day…”.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the best shape of Stephen’s life involved an intact elbow.

I like pie. If I made a graph of the various “shapes” of my life, it would be in a pie graph form. Pie.

you know, I am literally in the best shape of my life after losing like, 50 pounds, but I don’t get a freakin’ article on the internet about it. WHERE’S MY MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT?!?!?!
