...most of a lineup that combined to hit .255 the previous season was not exactly cause for unbridled optimism.And yet, while a 13-28 season can hardly be called a success, there was one very important aspect of 2009 that had been missing from 2008: progress.Like last year, the campaign started off with adversity. Perlman injured his elbow in his first start and saw his season erased by Tommy John surgery. The Crimson sputtered out of the gate again—this time in Louisiana—getting knocked around during Spring Break once more by teams that were simply...

...Just two weeks ago, Specter was at a fundraiser in Pittsburgh bemoaning his increasingly isolated status in the Republican caucus on Capitol Hill. "He was commenting, There are only three of us left, only three Republican moderates left," said Clifford Levine, a Democrat who coordinated President Obama's campaign in western Pennsylvania and who also happens to be an active Specter supporter.
