An assignment in Philly this weekend precludes me from writing a longer post. I'll recap the Pirates games a bit more thoroughly over the next few days, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say something about yesterday's game.
If you hadn't heard, the Cubs won yesterday 4-0, and did so quite handily. Maddux did a nice job getting out of a few early jams, but really got pounded, giving up 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings. There is talk that this may be his last season, and if so I'll consider my photos of him from Tuesday night a treasure. Either way, he's looking alot like he's at the end of his baseball journey. Our own new warrior past his prime, Jim Edmonds, looked equally as rough. 1-4, with seven LOB. Not the most encouraging start, but do what you can to embrace him. He's like the crazy uncle that drools at the dinner table. At the end of the day, he's still part of the family.
Take care
