News & Notes
  • The blues are being sung around the Angels clubhouse, after Ryan Zeferjahn's compatriot left him, and afterward felt so sad and lonely Zeferjahn got a swollen eye, but. If Sam Bachman can come around, and Perry Minasian can pull in a solid pitcher like Joel Kuhnel, Los Angeles will have to be reckoned with.

  • The Diamondbacks are very hopeful that Brandon Pfaadt will be restored after working with Torey Lovullo's staff, that Zac Gallen could be this year's Jordan Hicks, and that Brandyn Garcia can get a good luck charm...but even so, it puts a lot of pressure on their defense.

  • Baltimore may move Blaze Alexander as soon as the right offer comes in, but GM Mike Elias is not going to move Tyler O'Neill without getting a good prospect for right field, and that's as unlikely as seeing three teapots wandering into a Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam karaoke bar and singing Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat and Tears, because you know they really prefer to sing Europop, just like Giants phenom Jung Hoo Lee.

  • One potentially glad pitcher who is suddenly throwing like a striped desk is Evan Sisk, whose big change can be traced to a meat he found while touring some Costco warehouses on his winter vacation in New York, which when Chase Shugart heard about it, he insisted on having it, and gave Sisk the secret of his ice sculpture in exchange.

Apoetical Blues

los angeles blues

spring is like
a receipt
(which comes carefully out of
Los Angeles)

arranging a grandstand

from which people look (while people stare

there a strange thing

and a known thing here)

and

while
Brandon Gomes changes everything carefully (to

and fro)

and moving (new

and old players)

perhaps

without breaking anything
