Not quite the official source for semi-logical Baseball commentary and random information

I figured it was about time for an update. Last couple of weeks were filled with some great baseball, but I spent the last half of the month finishing up the semester and relaxing because of it. So yeah…sorry for the lackoupdates

The Stanley Cup playoffs have been my focus with the Hawks making this amazing run to bring Lord Stanley back to the Windy City (yes I look like homeless Ron Burgandy with my playoff beard). No I did not miss the end of Doctor Perfect’s Perfect Game (gotta love him giving Ruiz all the credit), but expect plenty of more baseball updates once the Stanley Cup Final concludes. Here are some quick notes:

• 2 perfect games in one month? Gotta go back to the 1880s for the last time that happened
• Cliff Pennington is starting to look a little more like Bobby Crosby, hitless in his last 27 at-bats. This is a clear attempt at a reverse jinx. However, the A’s are still currently in 1st place
• “Cuban Missile Crisis” – Kendry Morales blows out his leg in walk-off granny celebration. Condolences to him, box of laughter to the Big A. OC: Let me know how the injury bug tastes, see you guys later in the summer.
• Justin Morneau is the run away MVP, yet Mark Teixeira is leading 1B in All-Star votes
• Mike Leake? Jon Ely? Who? I mean we knew Mike Leake had potential, but this is ridiculous right out of the gate.
• Speaking of ASU, those cheaters are the #1 seed in the NCAA Tourny. A bunch of horseysauce if you ask me- they shouldn’t be playing due to their 8th MAJOR infraction.
• Speaking of ASU yet again, I saw them beat meh Fullerton Titans TWICE in March, putting CSUF under .500 at 10-11. Since that happened, they are 30-3.
• Go ahead, read the previous one again.
• Dodgers decided to win 9 in a row during my hiatus and are a looking like the team we all deep down thought they were capable of being. With LA- SD, Cincy, THE NATS, Florida, Oakland Awesomes, Toronto, Detroit ALL are either in or a couple games out of first place.
• Finally: Stephen Strasburg, June 8th
• Dontrelle traded to the DBags, thus leaving potential he gets sent down to Triple-A Reno. If the Aces have any intention of getting me out to games where I do not receive free tickets, a D-Train stop would seal the deal.
• Batting Stance Guy is making the round abouts on his book tour. Friday night at the Oakland Coli; hopefully I can get there. Buy book here and here is the trailer for the book in all its glory:
