We Need Baseball

In times like these, desperate Americans really need the next baseball season to start today. Wars, scandals, politicians, and brainless entertainers are starting to get on our nerves. In the best interest of our fellow citizens, New Moon brings you a moment of sanity from Wrigley Field.

The Chicago Cubs have acquired right-handed relief pitcher Jose Ascanio from the Atlanta Braves. Ascanio, a native of Venezuela, is 22 years old. He reportedly has good control with his fastball, slider, and changeup. Last season, he pitched in 44 games for Double-A Mississippi, ended the season with an ERA of 2.54. In 78 innings he struck out 77 and walked only 18.
