Last night and today

Last night, for the second time in a week, Duke managed to not pitch well enough for us to beat one of our compatriots in the NL cellar. The fact that we scored only three runs certainly didn't help him, of course. I didn't catch much of the game, I heard bits here and there on the radio, as FSN televised the Dapper Dan dinner instead. Of course, looking back at the game, it's probably good that I didn't get a chance to see Burnitz, Paulino, and Castillo all strike out with the tying run on third in the sixth inning because I would've probably but a shoe through my TV or something.

Today brings about quite a turn of events. A month ago we'd be terrified to have Ian Snell on the mound, today we're all looking for him to give us a solid start and bring home our second series win of the season. The Fish send out Brian Moehler, who got off to a start similar to Snell's. He has, to this date, failed to turn things around. Then again, nothing turns pitchers around faster than a start against the Pirates.
