Sure, Brown and Tim Clifford's eleven wins will be missed, but a healthy Alevizos ("I feel like I'm ready to pitch right now," he says) and a few more performances from the freshman like Sunday's twin shutouts of Columbia will help to fill the void...

Everything, from the reined jet to a sharp-boned and muscular Doberman, jutted sleek, Steinberg angles. Everything, that is, but an unshaven guy snoring in a wood chair propped against a wall with his boots on a table. He wore a Beech-nut "chaw" cap and kept a spit tin on the floor next to the chair...
