When I first saw Martis' ERA before the game

I had the thought in the back of my mind that he’d have a good game and Pineiro wouldn’t.

But, on the other hand, congrats Colby!

His third pitch was 86 MPH and it said it was a changup, but his other 4 pitches were 87 MPH and were fastballs

3 of 4 is great. a .750 winning percentage is always great. I don’t care if they are the Nationals, they are still likely going to take 1 game of a 4 game series regardless of who they are playing

Just heard they pushed back the start time

by a half hour.

The thought that I have is that the season is over. And that everybody in the game; a fan, a coach, a player, a manager, front office, scouts...surrender. They say, "that's enough," especially after a game like this. But then Christmas comes, New Years, contracts are signed, trades are made, free agents are signed; and then baseball, like the rose beneath the April snow will force it's way to the front again. And we'll have the fever once more.
