OT: Is 9 years old too young to get Tommy John surgery?

oh wow.
on a similar topic, does anyone think some of those Cinci pitchers, such as Volquez or Cueto, were worked too hard this year?

Maybe
Though not in the same way Sabathia or Lincecum were.
However, I do think it says something about Dusty Baker that all four of Cincy’s full-time year long starters ended up in the top 27 of BP’s pitcher abuse points list.

8-2 now
After McDonald finally ended the inning striking out Burrell a minute or so ago.

Manny Ramirez
just hit a 3 run shot. It’s now 8-5. We’ve got a ballgame.

As a result of a dropped third strike too
Ouch.

Jason Cole is at instructs
He’s got a long post reviewing his day at the LSD insiders forum. Grullon and Thompson looked good. Font, Kyong, Henry and Ocampo got knocked around. The lineup looked like a Spokane team with Beltre, Lemon and Smoak included. Cole said Lemon looked great playing 2b and he had 2 doubles. Cole also said that before every at bat Lemon spells TRON in the dirt beside the batter’s box kinda like Ramon Vazquez does for his grandma.

Schilling
One year deal from the Rangers? I’m sure he’s looking for two, but what if?
Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

I think Lidge just needed out of Houston...
No one trusted him anymore and he looks dominant with the Phillies. BTW, that ball Pujols hit off him probably still hasn’t landed.
by TxStCa on Oct 10, 2008 7:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Lidge's slider
Is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Fucking unhittable right there, and both Kemp and Nomar knew it was coming.
Beast.

He doesn't even have to throw the fastball. Just 3 straight sliders and bye bye.
by TxStCa on Oct 10, 2008 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The Big Unit's slider from back in the day would've made Lidge's slider its bitch
Don’t get me wrong, that was a good pitch tonight.
But the good hitters (like Manny) could lay off it.
Making Nomar look like a 7 year old girl swinging a stick of licorice up there isn’t so hard anymore. He kind of sucks at baseball these days. Man he went downhill fast.

One day we are going to have an ALCS GDT.
It’s going to happen and it will be the best GDT ever.

Brett Myers got FOX's player of the game???
Man, that’s stupid even for FOX. Shane Victorino had 4 freaking RBI and a game saving catch.

There's a lot of Dodgers and Sox hate here
Do you guys really want to see a Phillies/Rays WS? Yawn.

I don’t mind the Dodgers so much, but Sox fans are pretty much all douchenozzles.

Iwamura doesn't move like I expect a former 3B to move.
Great over the shoulder catch there.
Bartlett had one that was even more impressive earlier.
This game is snappy.
Go Rangers!

Wish I could see it
But they’ve put the ALCS exclusively on TBS this year and I don’t have cable. And I can’t seem to pull up MLB.com tonight for some reason (among other websites, like Fangraphs and ESPN). I’m having to follow along via Yahoo, which really blows.

This game sucks
Why won’t Boston lose? Possibly in a fashion where Youkilis and Pedroia both die in a fire somehow? Bah. The Rays bats look pathetic.

The Rays suck
I don’t think they can hit enough to win this series. Bunch of chokey chockesters.
I think I might hate them now.
I’ll make up my mind and let you know.

You’re right, the Rays bats do look pathetic.

My dumb ass finally remembered he could pull up the TVants feed
And consequently, he also remembered how shitty a field the Trop is – after watching a game in a beautiful park like Citzens Bank in Philly, this is a comedown of epic porportions. MLB reeeally has to get these Rays a real park to play at. We need to start a nationwide, door-to-door petition or something. Seriously.

Well, that sucked
Or to be more accurate, that felt like I was watching a Twins game.
Oh well… Kazmir tomorrow. I absolutely love watching him pitch, even when he was mutilating Ranger hitters this year. Hopefully the Rays can come right back and shake this game off – if they go into Fenway down 2-0 it’s over.

Dodgers need to win 3 at home
I want an LA/Boston series so I can be extremely conflicted. Manny made me a Sox fan, and I’ve found that I can’t just turn that off after he’s been traded.
