And just because it's officially spring now, which means baseball can't be far away ...
This just in from Bradenton, Fla.: Paul Maholm spun a six-inning shutout for my Pirates today against the New York Yankees in an 8-0 win for the Buccos.
And, yeah, OK, so most of the real Yankees stayed home.
And, yeah, OK, so Byung-Hyun "Kingsford" Kim, aka the Human Accelerant, struck out three guys the Yankees picked up on the side of the road on their way down from St. Pete -- Brett Gardner, Bernie Castro and Greg Porter.
And, yeah, OK, so it means, nothing, absolutely nothing, in the larger context of things.
A man can dream, can't he?
I mean, Maholm might wind up being a better starter than Tom Gorzelanny. And who thinks THAT isn't significant?
