They were there and I was happy but when Pudge went down their failure to have a backup for him caused the return to learning to lose and try to find other things than wins to cheer for.

BUT, they're a credible team, and there's not much they can do (that they're not doing now) to get better. I mean, they could have signed Andruw Jones who's hitting about .100, to play RF, or Keith Osik, who'd dead, to back up Pudge. <br /><br />Anyway, the team's better, and improving. And they played a good game last night. Live it up. Are you just going to suffer and whine until they win the series?Kevin Rusch, Section 406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-24820215334457521442010-06-19T14:26:33.690-04:002010-06-19T14:26:33.690-04:00Having Obama at the park was the LOWlight of the e...Having Obama at the park was the LOWlight of the evening.

He's not Jesus or a king, or even accomplished in any way. Calling this the 'highlight of the evening' IS injecting politics into a baseball site.<br /><br />The most talented pitcher in a generation was pitching a gem of a game for the home team.
