Lead off double!!!

28.8 degrees on the field today.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) LOL, gamecast has the last 3 pitches at 95-89-96-95-87 Just simple research involved there. EVERYONE in the mlb knows macdougal throws heat. Ed Farmer? Nope, "he throws a fastball topping off at 90 mph with pretty good movement which make it look faster. He also throws a slurve."

WTF are you smoking Ed? MMAC's fastball tops off at 90 mph? Do your f***ing research idiot.

wow: But one column in Haeger's stat line looks out of place. Specifically, his homers allowed column, which looks like it was borrowed from another player. Specifically, Greg Maddux. Haeger has allowed just 19 home runs in 444 innings since he started throwing the knuckler. Over the last two years, he has allowed just 13 in 356 innings. That’s phenomenal for any pitching prospect, even the best pitching prospects in the minor leagues. While it’s a small sample size, the fact that Haeger faced 79 major league hitters last year and didn’t surrender a single homer—and just one double and one triple—is a good sign that his ability to keep the ball in the park may not be solely a single-deck phenomenon. By comparison, Felix Hernandez, one of the most impressive pitching prospects of our time, and an extreme groundball pitcher at that, surrendered 14 homers in 306 minor league innings. Haeger’s home run rate is on a par with that of King Felix; it’s better than Homer Bailey's (12 HR in 255 IP), or Matt Garza's (14 HR in 211 IP), or Francisco Liriano;s (32 HR in 484 IP). It’s not as good as Phil Hughes, who has given up a mere six bombs in 237 innings.

66 pitches for Masset, still hitting 94 mph on the gun.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) I cant blame you. The food is great, and the lines were probably smaller. Im wanting some italian beef right now. Actually Im craving it Al's on Taylor, I would murder one right now.

OMG, Masset I love you.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) you are dangerously close to being ignored, my friend. The best is during the end of the season last year when it was clear that the sox were out of it, I was still going to games, but just for lunch. Walk in, get something to eat, take off. QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) Holy crap that looks awesome. yummm Section 112 I believe.

Masset still hitting 94 mph

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) That is a wonderful looking heart attack right there im starving now

Damn, nice pitch

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:35 PM) Yesterday I put you on my temporary dislike list because you were drinking beer while I was at work. Today you make the list for bragging about the food...while I'm at work. Hahahaha. I cant even explain the feeling of the first polish of the year. I ate it so fast i was disappointed it didnt last longer.

I forgot to mention how great my polish and elotes was at the game yesterday. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:32 PM) Silly question, could Masset be working himself into fifth start consideration with his couple of outings if MB can't take the ball next time? They liked him for it before. Hes 50 pitches deep right now, hitting 94 mph on the gun, and is showing the ability to get groundouts, jam batters, and strike guys out. I would say he has a strong chance.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) Rock, how many people have told you they love your avatar? Let me answer your question with a question, how many people havent?

Masset 45 pitches deep, still hitting 94 mph on the gun

Nice sequence Nick. Dont give him anything to get ahold of

Masset gets the groundout on a 14in breaker

1 freakin hit, come on. make this soft throwing kid pay!!!

Do you think its hard for these guys to see the game since they have moved the press box, or are they still in the same spot?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:23 PM) Tad is so much more dangerous to RF vs pulling the ball. his power stroke is very repeatable to right center.

60 pitches 32 strikes 28 balls
