I'm Alive
So maybe I'm 9 vodka shots in....
The world beats you down. The bit of good that is, it resides within. Tom Jones didn't even write this song. Some other genius did. It was combined with a perfect performance. That's the whole point of the world. Put up your best, someone else accentuates it. America's best effort has been the concentration of the Good in the accumulation of the flawed. I post this, only because it speaks to my 10%. We all suck. Its just a matter of putting your 10% forward, and submerging your other 90%.
its HD, maximize it. And pour some vodka.

Still Beating My Brains

90% of humanity sucks. 10% is the effort.

Belvedere, Please
Like I learned in college, "no means no and everything else means yes." And, also yes, this is a real ad.

Just In From the Desert
Jeanmar Gomez, by far the highlight of the spring, once again dazzled over 3 2/3 scoreless innings (2 H, 2 BB, 4 K) to lower his ERA to 1.37. Then, he left with an injury. Kevin Slowey instantly got a huge boner. It does keep with theme of spring, that of on-field performance having no relation to the acquisition of a roster spot.
Later, Dan Wheeler, fresh off of officially "winning" a roster spot, went out and proved exactly why he was far and away the best choice. After retiring the first man he faced, Wheeler surrendered back-to-back home runs (that made 5 in fewer than 9 innings this spring) to Todd Frazier and Juan Francisco. Danny then settled down to allow a single to Willie Harris and an RBI doubled to former Indian Ryan Ludwick. Next up was Ryan LaMarre. I don't even know who that is. Suffice to say that Dan Wheeler will never forget him, as LaMarre jacked a two run bomb (keep counting, that's #6) before Wheeler was mercifully able to retire the last two he faced. Still, the line is fugly: 5 earned on 5 hits (including 3 long balls) in a just a single inning of work. Did I mention that the five runs were the difference in a 6-5 Reds win? The massacre left Dan's ERA at 11.70, his OBA at .422 and his WHIP at 2.20. I reiterate: could the man have done anything more to convince the brass to send him somewhere, anywhere other than the North Coast for April 5th? C'mon, man!
Somewhere Out There: Fuck it, we have to work with what we have and this is the only race left. Unfortunately, the only two guys in this competition are stiffer than a Vietnamese gigolo after a handful of Viagra. Aaron Cunningham (.205) went 1-for-4 and Ryan Spilborghs (.167) 0-for-1. I never though that I would be rooting for AC, but if the alternative should occur, I might have to renew my conceal and carry on the off chance that I see Manny Acta on the street.
Not that these games matter in any context whatsoever, but the last day of March features the Indians hosting the Rangers for a night game. That 10:05 EST if you're not keeping up.
Cheers.
