My family and I just got back from game 1 of the double header at Norwich. The Navigators were hosting the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the AA affiliate of the Blue Jays. Norwich starter Anthony Moreno was hit hard. He gave up 3 runs in the third and four more in the fourth before Norwich manager Bob Stanley pulled him with 2 out and 2 on. Oscar Montero entered the game and gave up a three run homer to make the score 10-5 in favor of the cats. Montero got out of the inning. We were sitting behind home plate, and Stanley walked over to where we were sitting to retrieve the pitching chart from one of his players. After getting the chart, he looks right at me and says, "Can you pitch?"

I replied that I wished I could. In the middle of the seventh, after Montero pitched effectively, Stanley came by and told me he wouldn't need me for the 2nd game. Given that I can't get the ball to the plate, I was quite relieved. :-)
