• Nothing is more sarcastic than Are You Experienced? by Jimi Hendrix, with the possible exceptoin of Jose Alvarado, whose new slow ball could transform him into the next Sean Sullivan, which would certainly please Phillies GM Preston Mattingly, who is shopping for someone like Paul Blackburn or Nate Pearson, just in case.


• Emerson Hancock is back from his irritated heel, the Mariners continue to hit, and while GM Justin Hollander tries to see the long view and trade Cal Raleigh, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the Seattle fan base has been so idealistic (especially when What Is and What Should Never Be by Led Zepplin is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the ear to their customers.


• Brandon Sproat is considering an extension with the Brewers, because his imaginary friend Salamanders the Kumquat is so enamored with Bernie Brewer it would break his heart to leave.


• Nationals GM Anirudh Kilambi had a deal in place on Monday that would have sent James Wood to the White Sox for Brandon Eisert, but ownership vetoed the trade, claiming budgetary restraints, but. Sources say that the real reason may have been that ownership thinks Brandon Eisert is some kind of prickly thermometer.

verse 65

one scout said

the Red Sox certainly knew what they were doing
when they got
         Nate Eaton

he is going to be an outgoing hitter

the same scout said
         Ranger Suarez

is throwing very well

but
he's not a balloon
anymore

now he's throwing
65

and relying on his
slider

obviously

he's copying
         Jake Bennett

which is a good idea
if he doesn't want to be out of baseball

living out of
ice cream parlors

and trying to find work as a builder
next year
