Johnny loses his league lead in ERA, but now tied for the lead in wins. Glad to see the offense pick him up tonight.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
So, with a win tomorrow...it would be a perfect road trip. When was the last time THAT happened?

I just wish the Pirates would lose. They won't go away. Bet they say the same thing about us

Well, ESPN goes back to 2002, and in that span, we've swept 2 road trips. Both were only 3 game series though. May 10-12 in 2010 against the Pirates. June 10-12, 2003 against the Rays. A six game road trip....that'll take more digging than I have time for.
Regardless of tomorrows outcome....DAMN we're playing great. :O)
