August 13, 200719 yr Ricky is expecting to be activated around Tuesday. He said that Fredi wants him in the pen because if he came back to the rotation he would only have 3-4 starts left in the season. That didn't make much sense to me, but whatever. Ricky said his arm felt the best it has this year in his last start with Jupiter, with velocity around 91-92 and no more pain when following through on his curveball. He's anxious to get back to Miami and play ball, not to mention that the food in Jupiter sucks and the only poker game around is at a dog track. No idea where you got this information from. From everything I have read he is still a ways away from coming back. May not make an appearance at all this year. Consistency in his velocity seems to be the thing. That's from the Marlins web site and from the PBP. I say don't rush things. We are going no where in particular, our pen is doing just fine, we want to see how some of the youngsters can handle MLB hitters and give them some experience at this level. In other words, he's not really needed. So why take any chances? The food in Jupiter, either at the ball park or the surrounding area, is so far from sucky as to question the rest of this post. Want better poker than at he Palm Beach Kennel Club? It's not exactly a week end trip to Broward for those two casinos. Just because things aren't 10 minutes away dosen't mean you need a passport to go there. Ricky is his cousin Brother in law. He said today that he's looking at being activated thursday if he's going to the pen, otherwise starting and throwing four innings in Jupiter thursday if they want him to start. He was told to "be ready for anything" because of the need for starters right now. It's not so much that the food is awful (apparently the chick that makes sandwiches at the local Publix knows how to handle her turkey) but that things close pretty early.

But Ricky's view of the situation and the club's view of the situation seem to be very different.

It's not so much that the food is awful (apparently the chick that makes sandwiches at the local Publix knows how to handle her turkey) but that things close pretty early. We shall see. Pretty contradictory statements. Anyway, Ricky needs to get out more. Or at least get away from the general Jupiter/Albacoa area. I would think after all the time he has spent in PBC he would know the local hot spots for eating. Of course I have no idea what he considers "early." But restaurants don't close down any earlier here than they do anywhere else. Now I could see if he complaining/comparing club house food. He wants a good sandwich? Roger Dean Stadium is within 5 miles of THE BEST lunch/deli in all of PBC, IMO. Basically serves the blue collar crowd so is open only Monday-Friday and just for lunches (9:30-2:00). All Boars Head products, home made deserts and side dishes (including soups), huge sandwiches, and cheaply priced. Take I-95 south to Blue Heron. East to first left (between the gas station and the car dealership). Take first left and then first right. Place is on the left (7535 Enterprise Drive in Riviera Beach if he has a GPS). Called "Two Fat Guys." Order the "The Fat Guy" (6.50) And whatever the desert of the day is. And then forget all about that chick at Publix. Only 3 small tables there (maybe 4) as it mostly take out. No I don't own the place. No I don't have any financial interests in the place. No they aren't related in any way. One of my main wholesalers is right around the corner and I eat there at least once a week. I'll eat a late lunch if I know I am going to be in the area.

Looks like he's off to AA for a four inning stretch out. He was the Southern League Pitcher of the Year in 2005, so hopefully he's nice and comfortable. We'll see what happens from there. Anybody know some good restaurants in Zebulon, NC?

Anybody know some good restaurants in Zebulon, NC? LOL Figures. I let you know where he can get the best sandwiches in PBC and he leaves. We are heading into a 16 game stretch with no off days. If he shows consistency with his velocity then maybe this is the time we see some sort of apprearance from him.
August 16, 200719 yr tonight in Carolina: 3ip 2h 3r(2er) bb 2k so is that considered to be continued progress? is it any day now until ricky's back?
August 25, 200719 yr welcome to the PCL, Ricky tonight.. 3.2ip 9h 9r(8er) 0bb 2k hr Ouch. And I just read someplace if he does well we may see him in another week or so.
August 30, 200719 yr Wow, Ricky is certainly not finding the PCL hospitable so far. That's disappointing. At least he is missing some bats.
September 4, 200719 yr 4ip 6h 5r(5er) 2bb 4k hr He's been shut down for the year. See you guys in February.
September 5, 200719 yr Is he headed back to California via Alabama? Funny Really wasn't all that much of a joke. Exaggerated, maybe. Rumor mill says they were a bit worried about his health and I was wondering if maybe they had someone take a look at him for a second opinion. Or if they feel just shutting him down will cure whatever problems there may have been.
