Checking in with an old pal

Jul 1st, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: MLB

I saw that Garza had a pretty good start tonight, and I remembered the start of his season being pretty mediocre (or even bad depending on how you looked at it.) But of course he had an injury to overcome, so I thought I'd check to see if he's just throwing better now:
37 IP, [...]
