Kovacevic: Priester might've just taken one of those little/big strides

MILWAUKEE -- "This game, man," Henry Davis was telling me late Friday night. " ... you don’t get to breathe."

Hm. He'd know better than me, of course. But I wonder.

Because all around American Family Field's visiting clubhouse, the figurative heart of the House of Horrors, I heard breathing. Heck, I heard victory music, and this was from a sound system I couldn't have known existed within this accursed space.

Pirates 8, Brewers 4.

There were even smiles. I swear.

One of them belonged to Alfonso Rivas, the new first baseman who'd stop a double shy of the cycle, including a three-run home run in the first-inning.
