Warren got killed (only two runs were earned), then came back into the game and did very nicely. That nice Polish kid got sent down. He'll be back; it's a long season.<br /><br />This year looks like it won't suck but also won't be a winfest. It's the mediocre years that are killers for me. If we're really good, I have fun. If we're really bad--like, 100 losses bad--it's a kind of perversely good time.
