Update on Mason's former pitcher

Here's a story from mlb.com about Chris Jakubauskas, the pitcher in the Seattle Mariners' organization who spent three seasons in the Frontier League including one with Ohio Valley, where his manager was Mark Mason.

Jakubauskas, who has only 12 games of experience above Double-A, is still in the Mariners' major league camp. On Monday, Jakubauskas pitched five innings in a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants and allowed only three hits and one run. Jakubauskas remains a longshot to make the opening day roster, but it's still amazing that a guy with a 9-15 record in the Frontier League has made it this far into spring training.

Read the story here.

It wasn't good Monday for two other former Frontier Leaguers, including ex-West Allegheny High School pitcher Scott Patterson. The Padres sent Patterson and lefty pitcher Joe Thatcher to Class AAA Portland. Thatcher, who played for River City, holds the distinction of being the first guy to play a game at Consol Energy Park and go on to play in the major leagues.

The Wild Things have thurst-day Thursdays where you get a beverage for a buck.
How about a new promotion Thrifty Tuesdays where parking is a buck?
Sounds good to me. What do you think?

The Wild Things are NEVER going to get the message about the parking. They just don't get it!
They claim they have yet to turn a profit. I find that remark a bit hard to believe, don't you?
With so mant sell out's and such Superstars (in their own minds) as Messner and "Cussin Chris" Sidick on the roster, one would think they would be rolling in dough by now.
If they think they can rely on Consol Energy to prop them up, well...., Obama is hell bent on ruining the coal business. After he got the dumb ass miners to vote for him he is stabbing them in the back.
If the Wild things haven't made any money by now then it's time to start thinking about going into some other enterprise.

I think the Wild Things management are trying to line themselves up for a share of the stimulus package.
What do you think Jamal?
