Does that have a negative effect on your game that night? Don’t know if you take questions at all, but I have coached a variety of high school sports over the past decade and I was wondering:

Curt,

My pre-game warm up begins 2:20 minutes before first pitch. That’s a drastic change from years past and it’s mainly due to some of the physical changes I’d always heard happen at 34-40, but never knew until this year. Curt, Understanding and excepting the fact that at age 40+ the body cannot and will not respond as it did in in our younger years is key to being able to adjust and adapt. Its all about adjusting and adapting. Mr. Clemens is not competing at his level by accident. Anyhow, if things don't work out for you, we would have a spot for you on the Manchester Eagles in the NHBL 40+ league here in NH. The only drawback for you would be is that we all have to pay to play, and our fan base consists of players wifes and kids. But a cold beer and rehash of the game afterwards is always in order. In my opinion playing the game at any level at our age is ....PRICELESS. Good luck!!! One of the major changes this year has been the need to change some things I do in warming up.

As usual, at this time of the year I am lost in the sweet anticipation of another season where all things look possible. It's great to see you pitching without concern for any nagging physical injury. If the pitching staff stays healthy, a big if, the skies the limit for this team. 24 days and 47 minutes till first pitch! :) Curt, Great idea to communicate directly with RSN.

I'm guessing the answer is most likely not, but it was something that came to mind. Just wondering... Hey Curt,

I recall when you posted on the Red Sox Fan Forum and how it created much excitement. Reading your insights on your pitching and games really lets the readers know what your feeling without having to read the crap CHB and others put out there. I want to ask the same question that poster here "skinnyman2007" asked as I've noticed it too. "Curt during games why do you step over the chalk lines when you are going to the mound." I was at this past Sunday's game at Hammond Stadium as well and it was such an awesome game watching such talented players as Santana, Mauer, Cuddyer, and Morneau against our boys. Good Luck this year and I'm sorry for your loss in the passing of Vukovich. The "hanging curveball" story made me smile. And that is what we like to do when we remember those who pass on....is smile about the memories. Curt
