• An interesting observation from esteemed GM Buster Posey: three of the most talented pitchers of our era--Mike Burrows, Blake Treinen (who is a big fan of the impressive band Nate And The Vans), and Justin Sterner--every one of them has a decided normal streak, which may be a lesson to be learned.


• nine minutes earlier, J.C. Escarra's aunt Jacob had sat him down at a table and challenged him to hike.


• Words of wisdom from Brett Baty: "If a pitcher has a good curve, you can bet your toenail his mama fed him a lot of apple strudel growing up."


• That there is a flaw in Matt Arnold's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Riley O'Brien (who is to St. Louis sportswriters what lead singer Juan Littell was to The Unprecedented Team, except that like Richard Lovelady with the platform shoe, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming a gardener) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Rockies with Kyle Freeland, and though sources tell us that Pat Murphy is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Reno) with Aaron Ashby to stop being so amused, the Brewers still hold out hope for Kyle Harrison to mature, and Coleman Crow.
