R.A. Dickey

Was trying to get to 8-0 but took his first loss of the season tonight against the Marlins. He's having a great year.

Julio Borbon and Hochevar were brought in and played under Delmonico.

The amazing thing about this run to me is that his knuckleball was doing so well for that many games in a row.

I don't think it's ever been confirmed that Kirkland even graduated from high-school. I hope that answers your question.

Way to go, R.A.! He's hung in there despite setbacks & "reinvented" himself as a pitcher. He deserves All-Star consideration much more than the newbie espn is promoting. Despite playing for the LSM (lousy stinking mets), I wish R.A. Dickey all the best.

Yeah, it was known pretty early in the spring that there was no way Kirkland was coming to UT. He was pretty far off in terms of a test score and then the little matter of him not getting a diploma came up.

Raleigh knew he wasn't coming for sure when he declined to enroll in Knox County summer school to get the diploma.
