The big news for the last few days is even if the offense cools off, our starting pitchers are doing a great job. The bullpen is solid as usual. Of course the baseball gods are involved somehow, but I stopped trying to figure them out.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.com
