I was starting to wonder, after Lou Piniella announced that Harden would only be pitching night games from now on. I wanted to ask Lou if he had also begun hanging garlic from his office door, or whether he had noticed Harden...

He’ll be a favorite among the cheeseheads. The Brewers have money to spend on pitching and have said they’re going to take some risks to improve the rotation.

Back in 2001, a number of us hung the nickname "The Prince of Darkness" on Fred McGriff, after the Cubs acquired him and he complained about all the day games. (Might have had a point, too -- in his only full season as a Cub, McGriff posted a .935 OPS in night games,...
