Rain forecasted for tonight.

My amateur forecast from Williams Tower: smog. Lots of it.

Of course a good catch often results from a bad jump

Couldn't really get a good idea of his jump on the replay, but it wasn't especially shallow or far away. I'll have to assume he got a late start.

Looked like that to me. Also looked like he had it through one and a half rotations, but dropped it on the last half-roll.

I told someone at school today that I had to get home to see the game, and they asked if I wanted Florida or Ohio to win. For a moment, I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.

I had it typed in before he got the first pitch. I figured he would be hitting at a .250 click, so the 4th bat after 0-3 looked like good odds.

FREE BASEBALL!

Enough. Really. It was a silly idea to keep sending him out last year. The dream is over with Lidge. The average "good closer" lasts something like 2.5 seasons. I'm not mad. I'm not hopping around the house or anything. There's nothing wrong with admitting someone can't perform in this role anymore. Just calmly move on guys. Whether it's mental or physical or whatever.
