Email this postGreat sports news -- just not here
There's great news in the world of sports. The bad news is that you have to drive a couple of hundred miles up I-95, away from No-Titletown USA, to find it in the living personage of Jon Lester --- cancer survivor, World Series clincher, and now author of the first and only no-hitter of the 2008 season. Coming soon to a theatre near you -- and no doubt pushing that Chris Coste biopic back a couple of years.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia remains a kind of depressing locale as the 100-season title drought (but maybe 98) begins to sink in.
Has anyone noticed that Season 101 (maybe 99) is not going too well?
I feel so much better knowing that it's only 98 and not 100.
I'm not concerned about the last 100 (or 98). At this point I'm just thinking about the next one, and trying to keep the faith. The Fightins are in much better shape at this point in the season than they have been for many years. Pitching looks better, and ya gotta believe that hitters like Howard are going to come around.
Yeah.. and then the pitching will probably fail. Don't ya know.. we just can't win!
