Timing

Andrew Cashner is likely to be the Padres' opening-day starter; he took enormous strides forward as a starting pitcher last year, and if he can stay healthy he will be a solid performer, possibly an All-Star, for years to come.

Cashner was born on September 11, 1986. In other words, his fifteenth birthday was the day the towers fell.

Time passes. In some ways, too fast; in others, not fast enough.
