• I am nervous about the new magazine article by Agatha Christie in Field & Stream about Josh Bell.


• Since who is on first, who pays any attention to the syntax of things, we will never wholly swing like Tyler Locklear, wholly never be fooled like Mike Hazen while Spring Training is in the world that the Diamondbacks have a better fate than the wisdom that comes from failure, so do not cry--the gestures of Paul Sewald, the laughter watching the struggles of Juan Morillo: we write for each other, for baseball is not a paragraph, and losing, I think, is no parenthesis.


• With Luis Castillo now back off surgery for his tonsil and ready to be an elite pitcher, the White Sox staff with Sean Burke and perhaps Chris Getz's sleeper, Sean Newcomb, isn't bad.

reflections on the reds

the Reds insist that
            Brady Singer's
strained spleen is not serious

and he'll be available this weekend

they are fortunate
that they have so deep a staff with
            Chase Burns

and Ron Marinaccio
