I grew up a few miles from Forbes Field and the first thing most of us fans did after getting our tickets was to buy a scorecard. We'd spend the next few hours writing down notations such as K....6-1....DP....FC....and BB. We need such a scorecard in Western Pennsylvania today.
Rick Saccone lost the special election in the 18th Congressional District but will run again right away in the newly named and redistricted 14th. Conor Lamb won in the 18th but will have to run again in the newly named and redistricted 17th. Keith Rothfus is our congressman in the 12th but will most likely have to run against Lamb in the new 17th. There are people who voted in a losing cause for Saccone in the 18th but will get another chance in the 14th. There are others who voted in a winning cause for Lamb in the 18th but will not even have him on their ballot in the 14th....and I will probably have two incumbent congressmen on the ballot in the 17th this fall. Lamb got a hit but was then traded where he now is trying to get a hit on his new team....Saccone struck out on his first at bat and may hit into a double-play on his second.........and Rothfus has three straight hits but young fire-balling Lamb was brought in out of the bullpen for his next at bat.
The good news is that Hillary is not in this mess....and hopefully Trump will stay out. Rothfus will have his hands full but in my opinion it's to his benefit that he will most likely not have President Trump stump for him. Can you imagine Trump first stumping for Lamb's opponent in a losing cause in March and then stumping for a different candidate in November in yet another losing cause to Lamb? That would be two losses to Lamb in one year. I can't see this very political president taking that chance.
Saccone may be in Congress this next January with Lamb out.....or both Lamb and Saccone both in. Maybe I should run.....the dog vs the lamb? One thing would be certain....Trump wouldn''t want to come....and I wouldn't want him anyway.
