His fielding is bad, he hasn’t taken a walk, and his baserunning is bad, to boot. Free Cedeno!

Grand slam in his first game back! Ichiro and Junior going yard in the same game! Go M’s!

So I was wandering around the web, and I ran across redstate.com. It’s a conservative blog, a pretty stunning one. I mean, I thought Kos was out of hand with all the insults, but wow. How can anyone want to be allied with the wild craziness one finds on the right-wing blogs?

Was sitting on the couch, watching the M’s game (great pitching duel, the M’s squeaked out the 1-0 win), when about the 4th inning, the kitchen exploded. Well, not exploded: no gas or fire was involved. But a plastic shelf holder on an adjustable shelf sheared away, and a giant waterfall of dishes came shooting [...]

Yeah, that Silva acquisition just gets better and better. “I know, let’s get a fat pitcher who only throws mediocre, invariant fastballs. Four years, forty-eight million dollars, ought to scare someone up to fit that bill. Make it happen!”

Morrow got within 1 strike of the win, twice, and ended up walking them both times. Miguel promptly gave up the game. We could be seeing a lot of this this season. Young fireballers with mediocre control in the bullpen losing games late. Sigh.

An ephemeral, slight joy, to be certainly crushed later on, when, say, Washburn takes the hill. But, baseball is here, and the M’s won.

Go M’s! Anything is better than last year…
