Romo Phone Home: The fellas are swinging the bats tonight

In the spring of 1983, Pirates reliever Enrique Romo failed to report to camp. Attempts by the team to locate the enigmatic righty failed, and he was released. Similarly, for 20+ years, Pirates fans were unable to locate their once-proud franchise. This blog, last seen in September 2006, was the record of one father and son who nurtured the hope that one day Romo and the Pirates would phone home. That day arrived seven years hence, and now we are back. Enrique, we salute you, wherever you are.

The fellas are swinging the bats tonight

I like what I'm seeing from Bay and Castillo lately.

The bullpen could still blow this one, which would further distract us from the revival of the offense, but the early leads still happened, both tonight and on Thursday afternoon.

Earl Weaver said that a team is never as bad as they look when they're losing or as good as they look when they're winning. We could be just about due for some progression toward the mean.
