Mac quote of the day

Magic, karma, etc. On Vogelsong, from Eagle's wrap-up:

"He got some pitches in the middle of the plate, elevated a couple of pitches and they took advantage of it," said Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon.

"I thought his stuff was good today. He didn't have the karma today. There was no magic today. That certainly happens from time-to-time. But I just think his stuff is too good for one of his [bad] days to be like that.

"He'll bounce back. He's a tough kid."

Tough man, Mac, he's a tough man. A "kid" is a young goat.
