A brain that's wired for baseball does funny things. For instance: While looking at the MLB standings, a thought occurs. Man, Houston sure has turned it around. They've won eight of the last 10. They started like 0-8? ... Doesn't hurt that former Jackson General Lance Berkman is back in the lineup. ... Didn't he homer on Sunday? ... Saw a replay of Berkman's shot off the head of that Pirates pitcher. Ouch. ... Who was the Generals pitcher who got nailed in the noggin? ... Oh yeah, Brian Sikorski. Ball bounced into left field. Left stitch marks below his right ear. Whatever happened to him? ... Sometime later, surfing a Japanese baseball website, a name jumps out. Brian Sikorski. Got his Pacific League-leading 11th save today for the Seibu Lions. ... Wow.
P.S. Wondering what will happen to former Mississippi Brave Brandon Jones, designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Sunday. He was playing at Triple-A Indianapolis. Surely the Pirates will keep him if he clears waivers. Atlanta doesn't have roster room to bring him back.
