Our long national nightmare is over – the Senators took two games from the New York Day Traders at RFK today, ending a miserable ten-game losing streak. Outfielder Pat Kelly, acquired from Pete’s Pilots along with southpaw Ron Bryant and a couple of draft picks for former franchise player Frank Howard, was a big contributor in helping set the table for Orlando “Baby Bull” Cepeda, who did not disappoint in his new role of cleanup hitter. All three games were close – the initial loss was 7-6 in twelve innings, the second was a 3-2 pitcher’s duel with Larry Dierker outdueling Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, and the third was an 11-10 slugfest won in the bottom of the 10th by Del Unser, who drove in utilityman Hal Lanier from second. In other trade news, the Senators acquired rookie third baseman Steve Garvey and a 5th round pick from the Dodgers in exchange for our first round pick; manager Ted Williams says young Garvey has a lot of potential and looks forward to having him in the lineup.
I don’t often talk about music, but I feel I should put in a special mention for today’s artist, John Foxx, who doesn’t get nearly enough credit for his influence on goth, electropop, synthpop, and a bunch of related genres. As main composer and lead singer of Ultravox on their first three albums, including Systems of Romance, he changed the band from raucous proto-homocore to a smoother, dreamy, surreal sound which led him to go solo. Gary Numan in particular cites him as an inspiration.
