YourKock'sReallyGreat 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YourKock'sReallyGreat 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YourKock'sReallyGreat 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live Free or Battlenuts 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
