What a start!

Awesome!!! A NO-NO

Congrats Bum!

Wow! Kudos to your son...what a start!

Gosh with that good of a performance I'm reminded of when Len Barker threw his perfect game for the Tribe (in the 80's I think). He called his grandma after the game and she said, "Well that's great and I hope you do even better next time Len."

Congrats

Neat-o, kean-o! Nifty, even!!!!

Bum
That's great! congratulations!

Coooooooooooool!

Very very exciting and very very impressive. Congrats to Bum Jr and his understandably proud family.

Many congrats!

Now that has got to give him a ton of confidence! Awesome start! Congrats! Take good care of him now--wait on him hand and foot, ice, etc .

that is awsome,no first game jitters there.

You guys are the best! Thank you for your support. What made it even sweeter: It was against the team which was the pre-season pick to win the championship. Except for a HBP it would have been a perfect game. No walks. 9 K's. 54 strikes and 14 balls. Thank you again!

Congrats to the son. What a way to start the season.

Bum,
That is a fantastic start.
It doesn't get any better then that (unless he gets a perfect game next time.)
Enjoy the ride.

I will be over on the east side this week.
UW is at WSU Fri-Sun.

Let me know if you are planning on getting to one of the games. I will be the one with the Purple hat with the big W on the front.

Also the UW play Gonzaga on Tuesday (won't be at that one).

Is Rusty scheduled for Thursday again?

RAH,

I PM'd you.

Bum,
Take that boy of yours out and buy him a steak with all the trimmings, would ya?
Sounds like he deserves it!!
Great job!!!!!!!

A big congrats on such a wonderful start! May he continue to have huge success this season!!

Are you kidding 20dad? No first game jitters? That couldn't be further from the truth!

I have it on good authority...covert status really...deep, deep undercover...no Plame Jane on this assignment. There indeed was plenty of pregame jitters. So much so that they were picked up by the National Earthquake Information Center.

Trembling and outright jittery action detected and recorded at various times throughout the afternoon of March 15, 2007 at a high school baseball field in the Spokane, WA area.

Precise triangulation of seismic records indicate that the severe jitters were not...I repeat not...originating from the mound, but were quite literally agitating in a frenzy from a collapsible chair clearly marked with a large silk-screened "BUM" on the back of the upper panel.

The chair, located 2/3 of the way down the left field line, was occupied by this gentleman...


This gentleman, of sorts, was reported to be sweating profusely, and not just from his tongue, and his claws had been nervously nibbled down painfully to the quick on all four extemities. Trees, stumps, shrubbery, and fire hydrants in the vicinity were all reported to have received numerous dousings throughout the afternoon.

After an hour and a half or so the jittery action stopped and trembles of elation were then detected, followed by what appeared to be utter exhaustion as evidenced by the seismograph's flatline.

All I can say is...

"Welcome to the World of High School Baseball BUM!"

Congrats Bum....
Let your son know outings like that will keep him fed at all the finest restaurants!

WOW!! That's AWESOME!
Congrats! But aren't you a tiny bit suspicious?
I'm telling you, that kid ain't no Bum...
Big Atta Boy from my end! Way to go Bj!!

Bum - I have never heard a story like that before

Huge congrats to your son

Congrats to your son on the rewards for his hard work.

That's awesome, Bum. Make sure to keep that kid out of Oregon!
