Yeah, sorry for the long break...I'm now a citizen of the State of New York, the City of Gotham. I'm subscribed to a Lenny DiNardo news update and decided that now is as good a time as any to start the LD blog up again. You see, Lenny is back on the mound. Now, he's not pitching THAT great, but, hey, it's the Arizona Fall League, and his team has a cool name. What I don't understand is how the great city of Peoria (which I thought was in Illinois--but is actually in Arizona) has TWO baseball teams, when my hometown of WORCESTER only gets one (go tornadoes!).
Dinardo's team for the Fall League is called the Peoria Javelinas. What exactly is a javelina? I would have guessed a female track and field star...but, of course, I would have been wrong. A javelina is a wild hog. How awesome is that? Check out this video on javelina hunting from over on YouTube (warning: the indigo-girl like music leads into a direct bow and arrow strike of a javelina):
ANYWAY: Lenny's now a javelina, and if he keeps pitching like this, he might end up like the boar in the video there. Here's the latest from RedSox.com:
LHP Lenny DiNardo -- DiNardo has not recorded a decision in two relief outings for the Javelinas. The 27-year-old left-hander has allowed five runs -- three earned -- on six hits over 3 2/3 innings. He has a 7.36 ERA over his first two games.
Get it going, DiNardo. If you think of it, email me for my address and send me one of them Javelinas hats. Cool stuff.
NOTE: In what is an amazing coincidence, Lenny's manager in Peoria is noneother than Luis Alicea. Graham invoked Mr. Alicea back in March. Unbelievabe.
Wow.
