“It would be wonderful if my children loved me the way I love them”… Joseph McKadew
“Drunkenness is voluntary madness.” Seneca.
Left-hander Don Gullett just lost the biggest game of his life. He has died, at 73 years of age, because his heart did not want to accompany him anymore.
When he was on the mound for the Reds, 1970-1976, the team was supposed to win. Well, the Cincinnati boys in those years won almost every day. Gullett was the leader of the rotation when they won two consecutive World Series.
Gullett, plagued by injuries, retired following the 1978 season, with a record of 109-50, 3.11 and was then a pitching instructor for the Reds. He was elevated to the Hall of Fame in 2002. Unforgettable figure!…
The Red Sox continue to strengthen the bullpen, with the signing of 36-year-old left-hander Lucas Luetge. He comes from a biceps injury… The Marlins were trying yesterday to sign Colombian slugger Gio Urshela, who has proven to be a star at third base. He suffered a pelvic injury last year, when he played with the Angels, following having also worn, since 2008, the uniforms of the Indians, Blue Jays, Yankees and Twins. His record, batting average of 278, 68 home runs and 279 RBIs…
“I bought a parrot, and my phone bill tripled”… La Pimpi.
Justin Verlander will not be ready for opening day, with the Astros. He himself said:
“My body, at 40 years old (41 on Tuesday), does not respond like it did when I was 25”… The Nationals people believe that outfielder, Jesse Winker, 30, can return to his best Games days of Stars, so they signed him for the minors, despite having been attacked during the previous season, due to pain in the waist…
129 years ago today, National League umpire Bill Betts announced that he had invented and perfected the device to count balls, strikes and outs during games. Bill gave one to each umpire. Versions of this same machine are the ones used today… The contract signed the day before yesterday by the Phillies and starting pitcher Aaron Nola is for seven seasons, for 172 million dollars. At the same time, another starter, Zack Wheeler and his agents, were talking yesterday regarding an extension…
“Last weekend, my dog went to the Flea Circus… and stole the show”… La Pimpi.-
Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
