Right on.  They are responsible for the BJs too.  ALE should be Balti/NY condominium as in the glorious 70s.

Watching the Cardinals game right now and I just realized why Wainwright's pitching has been so shitty: I bought his jersey in the offseason.

He literally gave up a two run homer as I typed that.

Not their best start this year.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

They're hitting home runs and scoring a lot.  There have been some pleasant surprises like Diaz and Hazelbaker.  But about half the pitching staff has been pure shit.

And Diaz just hit a homer.  Dude came out of nowhere; wasn't supposed to even make the team but is batting .466.  If he can figure out how to field Peralta might be out of a job when he gets healthy.

Waino had another shit night but picked up a win, thanks in part to the triple he hit.  Diaz has now had enough ABs to be included in the stat leaders.  He's leading MLB in batting at .468 and still hits in the #8 slot.  I'm kind of okay with not moving him up in the order for now-- if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The Braves are very streaky. Open with a 9 game losing streak. Follow that with a 4 game winning streak. That is followed with an ongoing 8 game losing streak.

UGA drew 90k+ to its spring game. Maybe the two are connected.  :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Sometimes I think Neil Walker's name sounds Japanese when people say it fast.
