Down to single digits. Only 9 days till the first pitch of the 2008 season. So it's good to see that the pitching has picked up, with a week of solid performances from Myers, Hamels, Moyer, Kendrick, and, yes, Eaton. Even J.D. Durbin stepped it up, though it may be too late for him. Too bad. He seems like a likeable guy, if an odd mix of spit and humility. If he clears waivers, maybe he'll end up in the Lehigh Valley with a call-up to follow.
Clever headline on the front page of yesterday's Inky---"Primary fabric: Blue surge", a reference to booming registrations in state Democratic ranks.
