Baseball Thoughts

Today was The Pittsburgh Pirates home opener, and, wow, what a game! Duke pitched the entire 9 innings and gave up nothing. Houston managed to get just four hits off of him, scoring zero while the Bucs managed 7 runs on 14 hits off of the Houston Astro pitchers.
The one bummer of the game was the Astro's pitcher,Brian Moehler, who had to leave the game in the third inning with a sprained knee.No matter what sport you are a fan of, I don't know of anyone that would wish to see a player get injured, even the opposing team. I only can hope that, with some rest, this young man will be back to the pitching mound for the Astro's soon.
My team is now 4 and 3, which is a pretty darned good start for them :) They seem to have a lot more moxie as a team this year, scoring late in the game when they can, not giving up to anyone. This is all one can expect from the team they root for, don't give up. As a great ball player once said, it ain't over 'til it's over!
LET'S GO BUCS!!!!
