Can David Beat an Injured, Asthmatic Goliath?

We shall see, but I feel good about this series. And I actually knocked on wood just now, because when it comes to this stuff I am very superstitious.

But anyway, my eternal Pirates optimism had a field day last night. We had seen Lincoln making slow progress from start to start, despite the opinions of many others, but last night he had a serious breakthrough that I like to think could spur similar breakout performances from other young guys on this team. In any event, we shall soon see. With any luck, the last pictures I take tonight will be of fireworks, beautiful fireworks.
