We should brace ourselves for a five-hit, two-homer game from Melvin. Then Jeff Bennett will land with some team, save three games in a series and bean Freeman to put him on the DL for the season. Fuck me up the ass with a pineapple, as a wise or maybe unwise man once said. He didn’t really mean it.
After the abomination of evening last, tonight’s game is probably the most pivotal of the young season, if there are to be pivotal games this season. No one will soon forget what happened on April 28, at least among the fans. But a win tonight, and thus a series triumph, would expunge at least a smidge of the sting.
