Pedro Pitches for ‘Pigs on Friday
Pedro Martinez is going to pitch for the IronPigs on Friday 7/31 at 7:05, according to the Morning Call. Which is cool, but it’d be even cooler if he was pitching tonight, since that’s the game I’ll be at.

It’s February in Pennsylvania, which means we’re alternating between cold and icy, cold and muddy, and just plain cold. Oh we get the occasional spring tease, when temps spike up to the mid-40s, but those are quickly gone. Now granted, it’s not New England, which just got another foot of snow, but it’s still miserable … Read more
