So long, Jay, we hardly knew ye...



Well the rumors were right.  Bruce hit his 300th lifetime home run and barely 24 hours later was off to Philly for a A-level player.  Sic transit and all that.

I'd taken a liking to Bruce in spring training where he could be seen, during games, leaning against the dugout railing usually talking with one of the younger players like Bishop, Murphy or Vogelbach. They must have learned a lot from him.  On his way to 300 he hit some dramatic homers and even though he overall offensive numbers were low, he could still hit the ball hard and far.

He got out of town just in time to miss another drubbing.  Marco with his worst start yet, following two bad ones.  Something's wrong.  No one, particularly Gonzalez pitches that poorly for three games in s row.  I see IL time coming.
