I would really love to see Blackburn return to form tonight. I would really love to see the rain end for awhile – moving a friend from one apartment into another kind of sucked here today. I would really love to avoid soccer talk for awhile so I’m glad for a baseball game!

This is actually a really interesting series against the Braves – I seem to be one of the few who really likes interleague play. But there has been some INCREDIBLE pitching from both teams and that just makes my day! Too bad that Blackburn didn’t get a win for a good recovery outting tonight but regardless, it was good to see him back to working the sinker.
Are the cowboy hats cursed?
