Worked for me. Just click your mouse on the middle of the Flying Tigers logo where it says "click to read", should open right up without a subscription.

This very cool, some great information! Thanks for sharing.

**hueytaxi** · 03-16-2012, 01:42 AM

Cool! I've run into so much that requires a log in to an app I don't want. The latest was the Ledger articles require a Facebook membership to comment or rebut. They seem too have overlooked my complaint to "Voice of the People"

Good stuff. Thank you

Mission Notes for Tonight's game against Tampa - Lakeland Flying Tigers Mission Notes: MISSION NOTES vs. TAMPA (Apr. 7, 2012)

**PuNk42AE** · 04-07-2012, 04:51 PM

BACK IN THE FOLD ... Lakeland has a new coach this season in the uniform of Mike Maroth, who is in his first season as a professional coach. Maroth played for six seasons in Detroit with a 50-62 career record in 143 starts. Maroth, who originally was a third-round pick of Boston in 1998, was 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA for Lakeland in 1990.

I hadn't noticed that he was there as the Pitching Coach this season.

Turner was told he would start Monday in Daytona. The weather over the weekend may have forced other plans to keep the arms on schedule. He could start the EST game at home instead.

**MocMan** · 04-22-2012, 08:13 AM

I'm just basing my probables on past rotations. Hopefully, Turner will pitch for the LFT Monday. I'd like to see what he can do.
