The Long Road Back

Yesterday an interesting article came online via the Mercury News and Giants beat writer, Andrew Baggarly. The article centered around Noah Lowry and his latest health issue. The once changeup-tossing lefty went under the knife yesterday for yet another surgery. Lowry was battling pain in his shoulder and neck, and the surgery (which will remove [...]

What’s this?

My god, it’s a boxcore! Baseball is officially back. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be able to wake up, go online, and read an honest-to-goodness boxscore. Yes, ST stats don’t really mean anything, but, it’s great see the players on the field — even Eugenio Velez.

Time to Worry?
