An old postcard, an old photo from a Yankees-A's game in Oakland, some languishing stickers, and prevailing heat and humidity went into making this postcard collage. Well, that was not the way you wanted to start the rest of the season, with sketchy pitching by Jamie Moyer and the bullpen and an offense that showed up only in the 1st and the 9th. Much of that offense was courtesy of a pair of mammoth two-run homers by Ryan Howard. Otherwise, it was pretty much a stink job.
The IronPigs, meanwhile, took a 7-0 lead in the 2nd down in Louisville, got barely another hit after that, and lost 8-7 on a two-run walk-off homer given up by Scott Mathieson. Gosh.
