I get in the car, and a Dramarama song is playing, but it's not the obvious one for today! Oh, well -- serves them right for getting the date wrong.

I mean, unless giving up two three-run homers in the top of the first is good.

Because I'm a masochist, I have the Cardinals game on while I work this afternoon. Kyle Gibson is not looking so good.
