In Recovery...


The tag line on the poster sums it all up. I was in California's Napa Valley touring some wineries yesterday. And anyone who tells you that stuff is for sissies has never done it. I think I spent 30 dollars all day, and was messed up. Almost like being at Jack's on the South Side, except you're surrounded by pretentious assholes instead of just drunk assholes. But anyway I think I remember reading on my phone that the Penguins lost 5-0 and the Pirates won by a score of I don't remember to I don't care. I'm sure Utah will have more concise analysis on the Pens game tomorrow. And I'll write up something on my trip to McAfee Coliseum to see the A's take on the Orioles. Matt Wieters was what I went to see, but had the treat of watching former Buccos Rajai Davis and Ty Wiggington. A short preview, Wiggington still stinks.
Apparently Dejan Kovacevic is feeling some side effects as well. I hate to point out a mistake by a guy who's always so solid. But this is a funny mistake so that makes it okay. This is from what I'm sure was a rapidly written game recap from Sunday before Dejan had to catch a flight out of Houston.
"Houston lost its starter, Ronny Paulino, after 1 2/3 when he slipped on the mound and strained his right groin. That brought Russ Ortiz in emergency duty, and he would pitch 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief."
That's actually Felipe Paulino. It was probably the groin injury that reminded Dejan of Ronny. If Ronny Paulino was a pitcher would probably have to be a closer, or a late-inning specialist because he'd quit after one inning.
