    This might be one of the top five most completely random moments in MLB history.
    Former Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang is on hand tonight for Pirates vs. Padres and made a catch in the stands on a foul ball.

    My last game covering the Pirates this year. 37 seasons in the books. Seven winning seasons. No postseason series wins. I may be the losingest baseball writer in history.

    Fourth and final chemo, here we go.

    Good news on the medical front. My first CT scan since ending chemotherapy was clean.

    Some good news. My nine-day hospital adventure for quadruple bypass ends today as I am getting discharged.

    Good personal news. A CT scan showed no sign of cancer returning. I begin chemotherapy as preventative measure Tuesday. Again, I can't thank everyone enough for the prayers, kind thoughts and continued encouragement! It means so much..

    My surgery Monday wound up being quadruple bypass but doctors thought it went well. Still beat up but starting to feel better.

    He says he wants to stay in Pittsburgh. Well, the Pirates need a right fielder.

    Some good news on the personal front: I have passed the five-year mark since my colon cancer surgery and my oncologist tells me there is now less than 1% of recurrance.

    Now that chemo is behind me, I want to thank everyone so very much for the prayers, encouragement and good thoughts over the past 4 1/2 months! It made a big difference in getting me through what could have been a very difficult time.

    I feel sorry for Athletics fans that the team is leaving. I feel almost as sorry for Pirates fans that the team is staying.

    Even the most fervent Mike Tomlin critic must admit he did a pretty good job to get THIS Steelers team into the playoffs.

    An update:. I will have a chemotherapy treatment in two weeks. If that goes well, I will continue chemo orally for three months. The outlook is very good and this is primarily a preventative measure. Thanks for the all the support these last three weeks. It means so very much!
