Scouting the SAL: Game Report: Wilmer Font

A high profile international signing, Wilmer Font's career has been slowed by injury which cost him almost the entire 2008 season. Now healthy, the 19-year old struggled mightily versus the Savannah Sand Gnats during my lone opportunity to watch him pitch. Font's performance was underwhelming, but how much of it was due to simply catching him on an off night? While I can not be certain, his performance threw up a few red flags which leaves me questioning his future ceiling.

did anyone else buy tickets? for a long time couldnt find 4 seats together but finally ended up getting some in 322L...

anyone else buy tickets?

per stubhub as a buyer:

If the event is cancelled or postponed:

If an event is cancelled and will not occur at a later date, StubHub will send the Buyer an email offering the Buyer the opportunity to return their tickets within 2 weeks in order to receive a refund for the full cost of the tickets, including service fees and shipping and handling charges. StubHub, in its sole discretion, will determine when an event has been cancelled. If an event is postponed or rescheduled, the Buyer may use the tickets on the rescheduled date or, time permitting, list them for sale at StubHub. If an event is postponed but replacement tickets are required for entry to the event on the rescheduled date, StubHub will work to obtain replacement tickets for the Buyer. If an event is postponed and the number of replacement tickets available is limited, StubHub may, in its sole discretion, deem the event cancelled

OT: The British Open

Dont know who else is watching it, or who everyone (anyone?) is pulling for but got Tom Watson!

Right now Watson, Westwood and Wood are all tied at 2 under

Paul Lowrie had a 2 (Albatross) on a par 5 today

Ross Fisher had a quadruple bogey on the fifth to go from the leader by 2 shots (-4) to 7th place on the fifth hole

One way or another, go Tom Watson...they love him there and I dont know if there is anyone I have pulled for more in a golf tournament...

OT: Dessert

the last thread went very well (almost 275 comments) but then again it was mexican food and went in the direction of fav eatery than recipes...

this time, i am bringing a recipe to the table...

Fruit Cobbler

in a 9x13 pan full, cut fruit...peaches/apples/blueberries (about 6 cups of fruit give or take.) sprinkle with brown sugar. (you can leave the pealing on the peaches and apples....slice them thin)

Mix together in a bowl:

2 cups sugar
2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs (beat in the flour mix with a fork until crumbly)

Pour flower mixture over the fruit. mix the mixture a little so some of the fruit comes to the top for color. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

melt 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) and pour over the fruit/flour mixture.

Bake at 350 for 45 mins to an hour. Until lightly brown

(...hey i never said it would be healthy)

OT: Confederations Cup Final

knockoutking — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:01:00 -0000

US vs Brazil

first time for US in a FIFA championship

Brazil has won 14 of the last 15 games vs the US

also am i the only one suprised by spains very close win vs south africa earlier this AM?

should be one hell of a game one way or another, heres hoping that the US plays as well today as they did the other day

the win vs spain should vault them into the top 10 world wide though...thats something

also, i am even more excited for the coming world cup next year!

OT: Mexican Food

knockoutking — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:23:24 -0000

This comes from a subthread started in the GDT yesterday (before the game) as well as me thinking about it/the fact that it has come up multiple times before now in other threads

Anyway, what is everyone's favorite Mexican food recipe? (hell favorite Mexican eatery would probably work too) -- this may be part of an ongoing series based depending on the responses

I meant to start this before I left for work this AM and include some recipes but sadly they are at home -- will add them tonight...

OT: College World Series Game 3 - Texas vs LSU

knockoutking — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:15:19 -0000

game 3 for the world series, as it should be

LSU vs Texas -- LSU going for their 6th NC and Texas their 7th

in other news, if Texas keeps playing defense this badly, it could get real serious real quick here...

with 2 runners on, its never a good idea to be 2-0 to mitchell (or any other player)

and in other news: les miles is kind of a tool

here is hoping tonight ends up well -- with a UT win and a Rangers win!
