Einstein Would be Disappointed

Post Pedro Baby

In a night that was supposed to allow us to turn back our clocks just one more time this fall, not just an hour but a decade... In a night where we could once again dream for a game 7 on the grandest of stages.... In a night where experience was supposed to translate into quite the pitching gem in a hitters ballpark with monster lineups....One man forgot to change the time! The New York Post indeed got it right with the diapers (or depens as Pedro would call them) but they just got the wrong body. Pedro looked his age (real age not Roger Clemen's roid years) tonight but I didn't want to believe it. He had one more gem left in him. He had one more magical outing that he forgot was in his back pocket. He had...well none of that. He had simply run out of time. Pedro dazzled during that short snippet in the World Baseball Classic but still no one would touch him.Why? It was not until July when Pedro got a call. He had pitched average at best in his 12 outings this year but he was just warming up right? No, it was not a warm up but merely a warn out pitcher. Tons of innings under a tired arm, tons of memories and quite frankly tons of circle changes that were possibly the best this game has ever seen. Pedro was once electric with his fastball and nasty when he dipped a 79 mph change with movement on point. But tonight Pedro's arm was screaming as he struggled to hit 86 on the gun and his change-up struggled to hit it's spots; Tonight, to the disappointment of Einsteins theory that time and space bend, we once again realized that we have the ability to change the hour but we haven't yet really found a way to change the time...
