Anyone hear about what Ryan Madson was doing on Friday, besides not pitching in that game? He and two of his fellow pitchers were playing around with a frisbee prior to the game. Balls, Sticks, & Stuff doesn't believe playing frisbee was the problem as much as Madson saying he couldn't pitch as a result of fatigue. Maybe he doesn't want to tell anyone that he was filling in for someone on the back nine in a game of frolf before he threw the thing around with his teammates.
