letters
to an unknown audience
This afternoon in an effort to sigh,
I let a heavy rasp out which led me thinking of a certain Tom Waits tune,
whose name or lyrics I couldn't place. The one I
thought of instead turned out to be the one on the tough sailors
setting sail for Singapore,
and I love
the line:

The Astros have been in even worse shape, using three starters with less than two years of major-league experience. Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
