Supposedly he took the mound during spring training, just to see what he could do without hurting himself, and was clocked in the 90s a few times?

However unlikely this may be, I think it supposedly happened within about the past 10 years. That would mean he probably was in his 60s, which if true would be one more amazing thing about him...

What was the speed of coachjpark's "first" pitch at a game? Didn't he get to 80? And he pitched in college. And is young. And he had warmed up.

One thing I wondered on hearing this was if maybe he has thrown batting practice at VB sometimes and goofed around, and the story of that built and built the way anything can when it's not repeated exactly, the way most things aren't.

It wouldn't have taken a lot for "I bet, if he wanted to, Koufax could still hit 90" to get to "yeah, he hit the 90s in spring training. The legend's still got it. Bet he could still get guys out except for that shoulder," etc.

Maybe even mention on DT will get something like that started. Hope not.

But still. Koufax is Koufax. So, despite knowing how extremely unlikely this might be, you're tempted to think "if anyone could at his age, it'd be him, shoulder or no."

Or at least I was. I guess file it under fanciful thinking, which is sometimes a trait of twerps.

Is a dream a lie that don't come true, or is it something worse?

My Saturday afternoon schedule just got booked!

Pelfry looking decent, not much speed (not strange at this stage, but wasn't this guy suppose to throw REALLY hard? i would expect him to be a little more than the 89-90 he is going at right now)but only one hit, though no strikes either

besides the wildness, he didnt look that bad today. He threw a couple nice curveballs that had good bite to it and he looked a lot leaner then last year.

it was afraid to throw splitters, not breaking balls.

Not really nailing down a rotation slot here.

i would take tsao over alot of middle relievers.

even though his velocity was around 89-92, it sure looked alot faster then pelfrey's velocity.

Kou's fastest pitch was 92, pretty good for the first time around. didn't throw anything right over the plate or anything very wild, nice start.

he doesnt know any other way :)

I thought Steve Lavin was gone.

That is the traditional tag given to an underachieving team.

Seems like so far Kou is taking an early lead in the 5th starter derby, while Mark Hendrickson crashed and burned on takeoff.

Stults gets Lo Duca on a RF fly and Beltran on a strike out, then walks Delgado and gives up a single to Wright.

I'm saying they would, although it would not be a Timmermann-approved storming.

If Washington State had defeated UCLA Thursday, that would have received a thumbs up from me.

Kemp makes what Steiner describes as a "terrific play." Except he reverses himself and says it was Choo Freeman. Rats.

It's like if I started rooting for Notre Dame against University of Washington, or Florida State against Michigan.

When I told them they shouldn't be selling Premium @ $19.95 this month if they're not actually selling it, they wouldn't refund me $5 but said they'd refund the whole thing. I suppose that means I'll lose access and will then have to buy the $14.95 package. Maybe not worth the fuss if you plan to get Premium for the whole season. I'm going to be canceling at the end of ST anyway since Dodgers get blacked out during regular season and I don't really need the rest of it.

Just nobody get hurt.

All Washington will get out of this game is ... the right to play Arizona State Wednesday night. And if they lose, they'll still play Arizona State Wednesday night.

Reyes crush one out against Stults, 1:0 Mets

I just checked (using Preview). On Firefox, I need to insert a space between the inner brackets, or they get ignored. I'm pretty sure that wasn't necessary in Safari. I didn't actually omit them last time - just the obligatory space.

I hate Ryan Appleby.

Arizona 0, Stanford 0, 20:00 first half

I have seen everything now.

I like all the OT comments here. Why settle down on one thread? Since when was that ever necessary here?

But what Jon said makes it kind of funny.

Ah, OK. I had no idea there was a "new thread up top" since it was not announced this time.

Really?

Actually, it won't be.

Washington beat UCLA in John Wooden's last Pac-10 game he coached.

Goodbye overall #1. With a poor tournement showing, goodbye #1 seed period.

They've already locked up #1 out West, and that's all that matters.

They probably need to win 2 games next week to secure the overall no. 1 but there No. 1 West seed is pretty secure because nobody was winning conference games on the road at the end of the season.
