Tip Fairchild former Sullen Maine Star Update

Tip Fairchild Ready To Go
Posted by Duman On February - 26 - 2009

Tip Fairchild rocketed up prospect charts in 2006 only to under go Tommy John surgery that limited his 2007 & 2008 campaigns. The Maine product says he is rearing to go this spring and show what he can do.

"I'm ready to get down there. I want to see how my arm's feeling."

So far, Fairchild said his arm feels as well as it did before he underwent surgery. If that's the case, he could return to his 2006 form when he won 14 games for three teams, the best among Astros minor leaguers.

"I want to go out there and forget the fact I was hurt and go play again," he said. "And compete."

He indicates that if a starter he will be back at Corpus but if pitching out of the pen, he expects to be in Round Rock.

"I'd rather start, but whatever's going to get me there faster is fine with me," he said.

Alum,

Here is the link, I am behind in my updates as it has been a really tough week.

http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/sports/stories/5991262.html

Why is Word Depressed?
1) Snow, snow, more dang snow.

2) Mike Vrabel -Stow (Ohio) Walsh Jesuit Grad, a fellow Ohio State Buckeye, and a good friend of the family was sent packing to K-Anus City; Patriots now officially sux in the Word household; although eye see where they did sign Ron's son Shaun Springs.

3) T.O. was released by the Cowgirls. Hope he signs with the Dolts, I'd pay extra to see him screaming in the huddle at that couch-burning Tennessee hillbilly of a QB Petyon Manning.

4) Last but far from least board mates, my week was ruined by the sad, sad news that A-Roid has a torn labrum in his hip. Wondering if Madonna had anything to do with this (Alex, my men must be 'flexible') or is it just the baseball gods paying him a visit.

4a) If there are baseball gods, I hope they visit Manny being Manny a visit real soon.

Something to do while waiting for Friday departure to Arizona.  Watched Korea beat Taiwan last night and looking forward to US-Canada on TV today at 2 PM.  Well, it's not the LEC, but at least it is baseball.

My son and I are HUGE UCONN fans from our years living in Ct.  Big game today at noon against Pitt.  Looking for a little revenge.  Just hope Thabeet doesn't disappear again.  Hard to believe someone 7'3" can do that.

Good luck to all the LEC baseball teams on their spring trips!!

Tough loss for the Huskies today.

Now time to show what thier made of in NCAA tourney!!

Forecast for Stevens Tech on Wednesday is rain with temps in the mid 30's.  Hope they reschedule the game for Tuesday, sunny and 40.  Don't know if that is possible, but I hope so.  A couple of the coldest games I've been to in the last few years are the Tech games. 

One of the Farmingdale games has been rescheduled for this Friday.

D,

No trip to VA this weekend?

If is wasn't for that darn snowstorm last Monday, we could have been watching  games here at least in So. NE, or at least practice.

Unbelievable weekend re weather here in Southern New England

ESCUalum...
Don't get used to the nice weekend weather. More snow and rain coming this week. The boys think they might get a couple in this week. They  must be going crazy not playing while seeing games going on all around them  I see RIC has been getting the rust off with three wins. Anyone see them down there in FLA?

[Jcon8958]

Beacons Open up this friday in florida hearing nothing but good things bout this young squad.

Maybe I was wrong bout RIC they won a couple close ones. Then they got into a slugfest today and beat Fitchburg. Cant expect the offense to show up like that everyday tho.

Good news for the anchor heads of rhode island, off to those three wins.  Always nice to see the LEC teams get a couple of W's.  Friday seems to be the start day for the LEC three that are going down to Zona.  Looking forward to that, as the computer will constantly be turned on trying to track teams.  Followers of the Evil Empire, im assuming Gilblair for first game, whos going game 2?  Hockeyfan hockey must be close to over no?  Who we looking at for some opening day starters?  I have not talked to the KSC brass in a bit so im not sure who they will have go in thier opening game against the only team that i have ever seen bigger than USM and that is TCNJ.

Hockey is over for USM but not me  ...   I usually end around the first week in April...I would say Schmidt,  Therrian, Henry  than which every freshman has pitched the best during practice...

[KSCfan]

Thanks Hockey, i got an email from coach Howe today and all Keene games will be available to listen to on the internet off the www.keene.edu/athletics website.  Im assuming if you go to the baseball page thier will be a link.  This is for all the losers stuck up in NE like myself
