A year ago I was walking around Washington, D.C. for a work trip listening to radio coverage of a Yu Darvish start. It appeared to be a gem, he had a no-hitter going through four innings and I was finally starting to breath a sigh of relief about the Cubs newest pitcher.
And then, it all fell apart in the fifth inning.
The fifth inning was were a lot went wrong for Yu Darvish last season, so you’ll forgive me if I couldn’t quite breath easy on Monday night when I found myself once again in D.
