Tonight's @IowaCubs game just gave us the very definition of poetic justice.

Wily Peralta throws behind Pete Crow-Armstrong on consecutive pitches, Marty Pevey gets tossed defending his player, and then PCA hits the next pitch a million feet.

What a moment at Principal Park.

Here’s your reminder that Carla Bley took the lead sheets for over 60 of her compositions and made them available to all, for free, from her delightful web site:

Jim Edmonds was playing shallow and David Howard hit it much harder than expected, but Edmonds chased it down and made the spectacular catch

@TheVelvetVoyce It actually has been duplicated (literally/sort of). See “Blue” by the band Mostly Other People Do the Killing. Which, of course, only goes to support your point about the venerated status of the original.

@nut_history No. He was good for national games, in which announcers shouldn’t show favoritism. Having lived in LA after having growing up in Chicago area, his detachment from Dodgers games bugged and puzzled me. Jack Brickhouse wins. Jon Miller also great.

Robbie Robertson.
