| Here to see what's up with everyone. Am in the middle of trying to comeback bigger, stronger & faster from a knee operation I had in Sept. My goal is to be down in Tampa, Fla in Feb when pitchers / catchers report. ******(UPDATE Feb 19th 2009)******Am BACK in NY from Tampa, and it appears I won't be the next rookie in the bigs.. Went down there and kicked butt, but seems my next big stage will be in Vegas next month!!*****(UPDATE Mar 11th 2009)***** Pitched in the Kickoff Classic in Vegas. Dominated! Line read 4 innings, 3 hits and 8 K's. Season starts in less than 6 weeks, time to work EVEN HARDER! *****(update May 3rd 2009)*****In a rain shortened 5 inning game I went the distance giving up 2ER, scattering 7 singles while striking out 3 for my 1st regular season win of '09. We beat the Mohegan Braves 9-4 and are 2-0. I'm 1-0. *****(Update May 17th 2009)***** Pitching into the 6th inning I won my 2nd game of the year and we took both games of the doubleheader from the Pats. I am now 2-0 on the year, we improved as a team to 4-0 and took sole possession of 1st place.****(UPDATE Jul 12 2009)****On 4 pitches, I walk the leadoff batter. That would turn out to be the only baserunner until the 4th inning. A ground ball hit deep enough to short that he beat it out for an infield single. Turns out that that would be their ONLY hit today. I walked 1 in the 5th and 6th but that was it. 6 innings of 1 hit shutout ball. By FAR, my best outing of the season as we went on to beat the Padres 4-0. We also took the first one improving our record this season to 7-3. Other than that.....I'm from NY, my name is Mike, and I'm just here in either killing time or hanging with a few new friends. Why don't ya come say hi? ESP if you're from the NY/NYC area! |
