There's a good reason I don't publish everything I hear. Somebody told me the other day that they heard the Sara Plourde wasn't and would never be the same after her hip surgery last year.

Well I'm not a doctor, but I'm assuming her 15 strikeouts and one hit allowed in the season opening 10-0 mercy-rule shortened six-inning win over Penn State, means that Sara Plourde can still pitch.
