Yovani and the Jet Stream in Tucson

PrintI attended the Brewers game in Tucson Monday, more than I can say for the team, each member either opting for golf or a hot tub in Maricopa County or punching their time cards in Tucson.
Just thought I'd sign on to mention that there was a 25-30 mph wind heading out to left field, which accounted for all but one of Gallardo's go-fer balls. Now, the Brewers had the same wind to aid their offensive effort, but not only came up short, they nicely kept the ball in the infield. Props to the Rocks pitching corps?
Lastly, it was nice to see former Phillies catcher Sal Fasano in uniform. He finally has recovered from that huge hit he took from JJ Hardy a few years back - you know, the one that crushed Hardy's ankle, wasn't it? I can still feel the impact (shudder).....

It wasn't all the wind
I was there too, unlike most of the starting lineup. They were hitting him hard. That ball Fasano hit was crushed. You could hear it on impact.
Though maybe Fasano was just working out his frustrations against the Brewers, since JJ wasn’t in attendance…?
"all but one of Gallardo's go-fer balls"
Yeah, Fasano hit the “but one” for good, with both “but-cheeks.” I think it landed in the zoo’s elephant exhibit in center field, by the looks of the one downed pachy I saw after the game on the way to my car. (heh, heh)
