Very cool. I’m back on the Internet again, thanks to this handy US Robotics 5686 Modem I picked up yesterday. I’m slowly figuring out how to use the software that comes with SuSE Linux 8.0 (today’s entry was typed in KEdit and uploaded in Konqueror, two programs I’d never used before last week).

Back to baseball, Dennis Tankersley secured his first big-league victory yesterday at Milwaukee. He also knocked his first homer, a blast to left field off reliever Mike Buddie. Earlier in the game, Tank hit a ground-rule double to dead center. The kid can swing the bat.

Down on the farm, Xavier Nady made his Triple-A debut Saturday night, striking out as a pinch-hitter against Las Vegas. His elbow is still giving him trouble, so he probably won’t play in the field right away.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. I’ll talk to ya soon…
