Pitching @ MindSay

Thats my baby sister warming up to pitch in her game today.  I wish the quality was better, but it was taken with my camera phone.  I guess something is better than nothing though.  

 

She hit an out of the park home run today, and my other sister had some fantastic plays at first base.  They won, keeping their undefeated record still intact. 

 

I got sunburned watching, and feel like i'm about 100000 degrees right now.  You could probably cook something on my shoulders, back, and chest, its so hot.  I'm so dumb for wearing a tank top, and only putting spf 15 on.   Antibiotics + sun - sunscreen = pain.

Jon Garland finished the season with an 18-7 record and got mad love from Ozzie.

 

 

You know, I don't think there were any 20-game winners this year.  A bit shocking.

It always sucks when your pitcher pitches his ass off and still loses the game.  3 hits, 1 run and 11 strikeouts in 8 innings.  But the White Sox couldn't score any runs, so it didn't make a difference.

 

I have a whole new respect for Arizona Diamondbacks' pitcher Brandon Webb, who was able to pitch 7 1/3 innings for three runs on six hits in Arizona's 7-4 victory after learning that his best friend Jon Hooker died on the plane crash in Lexington, Kentucky.

 

Hooker had just gotten married, and he and his new bride were flying to California for the honeymoon when the plane took off from the wrong runway and crashed.

 

"I always knew I'd pitch. I had no doubt about it," Webb said. "Knowing Hook, I'm sure he'd want me to do it, too."

 

The Chicago Cubs placed Mark Prior on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with shoulder tendinitis, a move that could mean an end to the right-hander's season.

 

Prior has been on the DL eight times in his four-year career in the majors, including three this season. The latest trip comes after he allowed five earned runs in three innings in an 8-6 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday.

 

Prior didn't feel anything wrong with the shoulder, but a loss in velocity in the third inning led the team to send him back to Chicago for an MRI on Friday, which showed rotator cuff tendinitis.

 

The Cubs want Prior to rest for three weeks before throwing again, which could mean the end of his season if he doesn't have time to make enough rehab starts before rejoining the Cubs.
