Not quite...
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

If Eyre can’t pitch with a 6 run lead, there’s no reason to have him on the roster. He needs innings just to get his feel back.
