• George Soriano is back from his damaged croissant, the Cardinals continue to hit, and while GM John Mozeliak tries to see the long view and trade Masyn Winn, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the St. Louis fan base has been so coarse (especially when Locked in the Trunk of a Car by Tragically Hip is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the leg to their customers.

those around
the Brewers expect them to make serious runs at
        Curtis Mead

as well as
        Enmanuel Valdez

but
if they can get
        DL Hall

Carlos Rodriguez

(whose velocity is still down around

can turn his fortunes around)

and Quinn Priester

back on track

Pat Murphy's biggest problem will be what to do with
        Akil Baddoo

who is upset about the rumors

and has lately been
seen staying up late at night

sitting in the doorways of
motels

eating
brown rice until someone shows up

and tells him to go home
