"We seem to be experiencing a non-positive mooring event.": pilot of the Hindenberg.
Prior is a college graduate, which means he should be able to get a dead-end job in retail somewhere.
Happy Base Ball
Did Griffey have the same type of leg injuries as a Mariner that he has as a Red? I was under the impression that the injuries he's suffered from in Cincinnati were new, unexpected, and IMO more tragic (and recurrent ever since).
I recall he broke a wrist or something in Seattle crashing into a wall, but that's all I remember.
I don't remember who wrote them but how can even a minority of people who are supposed to know better be so wrong so badly?
I don't remember who wrote them
here's one from October 2003, which talks about "rare blend of perfect pitching mechanics and a mind-set to match."
I don't mean to pick on this particular USAToday writer, because everyone was saying the same thing at the time
No, you couldn't.
I think we all owe Dusty an apology.
I am not competent to evaluate their arguments, but that's the content of them, and it's fun to follow.
Tom "White" House subsequently shaped the United States' Iraq policy.
Perfect mechanics != perfect health
Never forget this. Just because someone has fundamentally sound mechanics, good timing, and good stuff, that doesn't mean he will hold up over the course of a long season. Even IF Mark Prior had better mechanics, the improper way in which he was handled by Dusty Baker could have led to serious injury regardless of his training. Strength and conditioning play a huge role in this, as well - pitchers who take offseason training seriously by strengthening their decelerator muscles and rotator cuff stand a better chance to hold up throughout the season.
That's a false dichotomy. Mark Prior had poor mechanics to start with and it was compounded by freak accidents (Hawpe's line drive off his elbow, collision with Marcus Giles). You are correct, though - when you start changing one thing in your delivery to take the stress off of a constantly-hurting muscle/joint, you will soon find another part of your body hurting due to weaknesses. The loads endured by throwing a baseball hard enough to succeed at the MLB level are astronomical, and if there is a weak spot in your body, the kinetic chain will find it.
