Despite the many clever freebies handed out during the inaugural weekend of the IronPigs, the team continues in a mammoth slump. Now 0-11. Yikes. May be it's time to embrace losing and see how bad they can be. So far the opposing teams don't look that hot themselves but no matter the 'Pigs are incapable of putting anything together. Yesterday the many fans who braved the cold, gusty winds, overcast skies, and sprinkles, cheered madly when the guys mounted a comeback but were again deflated in the next innings. The game went way too long. I had to leave at 4 and was even less happy to catch the futile end of the Phillies' game, when the bullpen coughed up a 5-4 lead in the 8th, then Derrick Lee of the Cubs made a spectacular game-saving catch to end the 9th and preserve the tie. Talk about a momentum shift. Sure enough in the 10th, the Cubs scored the go-ahead run on what should have been an inning-ending double play. But Utley threw the ball into the dirt. Cubs won 6-5. Where is the D!!!In Reading, at least, Carlos Carrasco pitched the R-Phils to a solid win over the Curve. Go, CC.
