Rockin' Randy Wells went 6 IP and gave up 4 ER. He also stuck out 5 and walked nobody. Guys, I don't know how to say this but Josh Vitters has more walks than strikeouts. Enjoy this moment while it lasts. Personal favorite Adrian Cardenas hit his first homer of the year as well.
God this team sucks. Anytime you ask yourself whats going on in AA just punch yourself in the face. Quasi prospect Nick Struck had a good start. Nothing else needs to be said.
Austin Kirk got the start tonight. Devoted readers will remember the column I didn't write last year heralding his no-hitter in Peoria. MD and I were pretty excited because he had great numbers at the time and at that point it was basically the corpse of Trey McNutt and Kirk to root for. Sadly, that was the high point for Kirk as he was just dreadful in the 2nd half. But its a new year and Kirk did alright tonight working 5 scoreless innings and striking 3 guys out. Starlin Castro Jr continues to hit and if he can keep this up in a pitchers league like the FSL we might have a challenger to the Iron Throne of Darwin Barney. 2011 draft pick Tony Zych who I hope can rise quickly as a 99 mph throwing RP was terrible in relief.
Boring ass game. Nobody worth a shit did anything. Move along sir.

Well done.. Well done.

Anyone mention Baez yesterday morning? He went 3-4 with a HR and two 3Bs. He’s good at hitting.
This should be included in the original post.

I don’t see why this is so surprising, after all, some people think the Cubs have hope, that JefF7 will be a starter, and even Mish thinks he’s Batman.

I was having trouble with AdBlock a while back so it’s been turned off for months. Must be NoScript blocking switchadhub.com
I wish I could get something that would block automatic downloads of video–like happens on CNN, ESPN, etc. That screws up the lousy download allowance I have from f’ing HughesNet. Course, if would help if I lived somewhere that had actual infrastructure.

@ Mish:
Yeah, it’s behind the paywall. But the third paragraph, all one-line of it, explains JefF7’s success in a way I finally understand.
JefF7 has harnessed the magic of the Easter Bunny. It makes sense. Santa Claus is so overcommitted. The tooth fairy is still on strike because they cast The Rock to play him in a dumb movie. The Easter Bunny, the most overlooked superhero of them all, was probably so flattered that someone (JefF7) asked for his assistance, that he gave JefF7 the special rabbit’s foot treatment. Now the rest is history.
Cy Young, Baby!!
