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.
That would have been my recap as well

@ Suburban kid:
This must be especially upsetting to you SK. Weren’t you a Titanic survivor?

I like how it is sponsored by InBev. When I opened this post there was an ad for budweiser on the side (dying laughing)
@ GBTS:
Was he having sex on the motorcycle when it crashed? Because that would have been epic.
I didn’t know Mish taught his dog to text.

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.
@ Aisle424:
That’s funny. I don’t have an ad there. Only “Welcome SkipVB”
Sometimes I open OV just to see the welcome.
Still (dying laughing) at this.

Thanks, for the chuckles.
@ Suburban kid:
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.

Hey SK, you should have posted this, this is cool.

Here’s the link.

I won’t forget this.
@ mb21:
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:
You made me, promises, promises.
Knowing I’d believe.
I believe this is behind the pay wall, but RJ Anderson looks at Samardzija’s first start:

@ 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!!

@ Mish:
You must have a really messed up RSS feed, Batman.
@Mish: Thank you for that story…The headline of “Gravy-wrestling model suffers horrific facial injuries after being hit with monkey wrench when she interrupted a friend having sex” means that I have seen everything I need to see today, and can now go home.
@ mikeakaleroy:
It was even all there in the link. Bravo, Mish.
Google Maps finds Ronnie Woo on the corner of Addison and Sheffield. That seems right.
@ Berselius:
Larry Lucchino is an unfathomably shitty person.
@ Suburban kid:
I did a good.
@ SkipVB:
It’s not actually from Batman, but that’s how I know it (like most things).
Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end,
Of Solomon Grundy.
Batman comics taught me that Batman can still punch Superman’s lights out if he has a Kryptonite ring.
@ Rice Cube:
…and Kevlar gloves. Or else Batman would still break every bone in his hand.
Hellickson took a batted ball to the head during BP today, had to be carted off. OUCH.
