YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Discuss. Harry Kalas passed away. Mark "The Bird" Fidrych passed away. Mark Fidrych, a Northborough native whose aw-shucks charm and on-the-mound antics helped make him a national phenomenon as a Detroit Tigers rookie pitcher in 1976, was killed in an accident in his hometown this afternoon while working on his pickup truck. He was 54. Fidrych, who won 19 games as a rookie before injuries derailed his career, was found dead on his 107-acre farm this afternoon, according to the office of Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. Fidrych was found by a family friend underneath his truck at about 2:30 p.m.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 Wow. It looks like traffic on the boards has really increased. I am so glad that this site was sold.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 Tim Wakefield has a No Hitter through 7 innings against the A's. The Red Sox are leading 5-0. It would be a perfect game so far but Mike Lowell has an error.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 The A's broke up the no hitter in the bottom of the 8th.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Posted April 16, 2009 Well the Yankees go out and embarass themselves on opening day. They are down 10-1 as Veras and Marte decide to give up 9 runs in the top of the 7th.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 Yankees embarass themselves yet again. The Indians scored 14 runs in the top of the second to take a 14-2 lead. Wangs career is looking pretty bleak right about now. He has given up 24 earned runs in 6 innings pitched in 3 starts.
Live Free or Battlenuts Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah he may be done. He was a question mark coming in after that injury and that question looks answered today. Well we got 6 innings left, let's score 14. :/
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 His Injury was a non arm injury last year. It's been almost a year.
Live Free or Battlenuts Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 He's a sinker-ball pitcher who injured the ankle he pushes off on. It's an injury people thought had a chance of ending his career the second it happened, and now his performances are confirming those worries.
