one day late

i should have posted yesterday, still on a high from the sweep and the four game streak. after last night, i don't have anything so cheerful to say as i might have before. if we can turn it around and take the series, i'll be less worried, but this team seems to get discouraged easily.

the highlight of yesterday was reading the following line on the official site:

"Rolen can pitch," La Russa said. "He's got cutters, forkballs, sinkers. But I hope it never gets to that."

i hope it never gets to that, either, but a little part of me kind of hopes it does, just once.
