http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2014-04-04/derek-jeter-souvenir-ball-yankees-fan-astros-fan-houston-watch-intercept?eadid=SOC/Twi/SNMain   I was watching that game and saw when it happened.  Even if you hate the Yankees you have to at least respect Jeter, guy is a class act.

Oh well, maybe next year.

Phillies actually pulled one out because Papelbon wasn't needed.

Tanaka's debut has been pretty impressive.  7 IP, 6 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 0 BB, 8 K

I looked it up online and it said 12-18 is commonly quoted but with modern techniques it's more like 9-12, that's why I posted it.  Tommy John himself needed 18 months, but he also suffered a major setback in his recovery.  Here's an article.   I don't know what's causing it.  Some teams were limiting pitch counts and innings, but that hasn't helped.  The Rangers were wanting to get their pitchers going longer in games but that hasn't really helped either.  A while back I heard one factor might be that kids want to learn to throw breaking balls, because it's "cool" to make the ball break, but breaking balls just speed up the process to a major injury.  At the time it was suggested the kids learn a change up first and as they get older start working on breaking pitches.  I'm not really sure how true that is though, but it does kind of make some sense to me since it's adding the extra strain from a breaking ball to a less developed arm so the breakdown starts earlier.  At the end of the day though throwing the ball is an unnatural motion and puts a lot of strain on the arm and shoulder.

Wow! Sammy Sosa's really getting thin.

  Junior Lake FTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  lol
