• Understand, the Nationals farm system is dirty, which will enable Mike Rizzo to go after someone like the Marlins stud Josh Simpson in July.


• An interesting observation from esteemed GM Buster Posey: three of the most talented pitchers of our era--Ryan Pepiot, Matt Festa (who is a big fan of the impressive band Rush Shaker), and Troy Melton--every one of them has a decided frustrated streak, which may be a lesson to be learned.


• Meanwhile, for the last two weeks, the bright fans of Astros nation have bemoaned GM Dana Brown's reluctance to trade Nick Allen for one year of Ivan Herrera or Ben Casparius.

reflections on the rangers

most expect
the Rangers duo of
Marc Church

scares off suitors

they may have to lay off an acrobat
or two
