Rich Harden To Pitch At Fitch Today

Just what it says -- Harden will start in a minor league game today at Fitch Park, 1 pm MST if anyone's in the area. I'm heading over there soon, will post about it and hopefully have photos, too.

Why isn't he pitching in a regular Spring Training Game?

To build his confidence.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

by santoswoodenlegs on Mar 25, 2009 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

cuz he has not pitched much

so it should be helpful to get him some action

are those just the BCB posts or are they the 15 other SBN sites too?

…we gotta know. 19,000+ is impressive.

Hey, you're at around 12,500.

But because pictures are worth a 1,000 words, I’d say you’re probably closer to 50,000.

Yeah, I must confess...

…I don’t know whether to be proud or embarassed either. I blame most of it on game threads, I guess.

I'm getting close to 10,000

But I’m a rookie compared to you.

Yeah, game threads add to that number quite a bit.

Yeah, looks like you joined about a year and a half after I did.

Give yourself time. You’ll be embarassing yourself soon enough.

48,000+ for me.

You guys have a way to go.

Oh, I already embarras myself -- that'll just be a new venue

9994! I’ve got a special celebration planned for 10,000 . . . of course, it’ll randomly go in whatever thread I’m reading.

I'll have to do something like that for my 20,000th comment.

I’ll probably forget, though, and be on 20,546 before I realize it.

Hey, it's the best I could do.

Recap coming soon, with photos.

Great pictures.

But God, that field looks like a Little League field complete with a Little League crowd. And Harden is that pitcher on the opposing team who looks like he’s 16, and pitching against scared-to-death 11 year old’s, and all the mothers in the stands are complaining that they would love to see his birth certificate.
