R.A. Dickey will have surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle on October 18, he told reporters after the game.
Dickey said he tore the muscle in April, but Ray Ramirez and the training staff did a great job keeping him 'symptom free.'
The procedure is non-invasive and he expects to be 100 percent for Spring Training.
Dickey took a no-decision in his final start of the ending the year 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA and 230 strikeouts.

Of course he pitched with a torn abdominal muscle' because he's Superman.
I just hope the surgeon doesn't step on Dickey's cape and risk success for our hero in 2013.
In all seriousness, if he doesn't win the Cy Young award, I blame Lex Luthor. It'd be the only logical reason' He should be the only choice.
Good luck, RA, with the Cy Young and with surgery' It was a treat getting to watch you this year. You make baseball fun, we love rooting for you and I already can't wait to see you pitch again next season.
