Some news to start of the day….
The Yankees and Red Sox start their first series of the year and it should be a good one. Joba Chamberlain gets the start tonight instead of CM Wang. The good news is that Wang did pitch in a minors game and struck out 11 in 7 innings.
Johan Santana gets the start tonight. Hopefully he adds another win to his belt, he is the only good pitcher the Mets have so far, starters wise. Too bad the Mets can’t have him pitch for every game here on out.
Dave Bush took a no-no into the 8th inning yesterday until Matt Stairs hit a Hr. The Brewers still won though 6-1. Cole Hamels was hit by a Prince Fielder line drive and was taken out. It is being called a contusion. He expects to make his next start on Tuesday.
1. A HS pitcher has thrown 4 no hitters in a row. He is thinking about skipping college and entering the Draft, he does have a 90 mph fastball and is lefty I think. The record is 6 no hitters in a row.
2. A 12 year old girl pitched a perfect game in little league. She got on Sportscenter today as the #7 top play. I am not biased at all, but I don’t think this is a HUGE accomplishment. No I never threw a perfect game, had a slew of no hitters, but the few highlights they showed of the games, the other team was just a team of oversized 12 year olds with no ability. Not taking anything away from her since she overpowered them, but it isn’t like they were all stars.
3. A HS softball pitcher has thrown, if I remember correctly 21 perfect games.
Felix Hernandez pitch amazingly well and won the game against the Rays, who had James Shields on the mound. He gave up a lone Hr to Ichiro and that was the game, 1-0.
Luis Vizcaino was dropped by the Cubs. He will be owed over 3 MM but they did trade Jason Marquis for him, so in essence instead of paying 10 MM for Marquis, now it is only about 5 MM.
Pedro is going to begin throwing on mounds tomorrow, so who will sign him? No one until he lowers his price! Although I can see a team panicking when some starts go down (Angels, Cardinals, Mets, etc) who will come in just because of his experience and lack thereof of good arms on the FA market.
