| Comments: 93 years and 29 days after the Titantic hit an iceberg and sank, killing 1523 people, the USS Milford will start a voyage that may rival that fateful maiden trip of that colossal ship...Several of Milford's top players followed Jerry Kresge to the Curtis Brewers of Lehigh Township this offseason, leaving the decimated Pioneers with staff ace Jeremy Steigerwalt, Bobby Pierfy (.350), Andy Rineheimer and not much else...Milford has already had a winless season in their 14-year history (0-29 in 1994), and unfortunately, 2005 may provide an opportunity for Milford to duplicate that dubious "feat"...The league has even instituted a 15-run rule for the first time in league history because there is much worry around the league about the final scores of the Milford games this summer...The logic is simple: More than half of Milford's top players from last season are gone, and last year they could only muster 4 wins with the talent they had...So how can the Pioneers even approach 4 wins this year after losing most of their best players??...Other than the above-mentioned players, Jordan Stabinsky, Aaron Weighknecht and Ron Hack, the roster below could be a list of NASA employees or airline pilots for all I know...Hopefully, there are plenty of solid baseball players on this Milford roster, because if there are not, I really cannot see how Milford is going to win a single game unless Steigerwalt or Stabinsky throws a shutout against somebody...Time will tell... |
