A good day

What a day. Jake Peavy pitched a gem (8 IP, 11 Ks, only one run) against the Pirates, and Trevor Hoffman then tied Lee Smith’s all time save mark with a perfect ninth inning (Dodger manager Jim Tracy was quoted as saying he has grown to hate the song Hell’s Bells). In the meantime, the Dodgers lost, so now we’re 1.5 games up in first place with 8 more games to play.

Plus, Cal crushed Arizona State 49-21. I don’t follow college football that closely, but I do enjoy those periodic moments when Cal is good.
