Mike Olt is 3-31 at Iowa with 11 K's in 8 games.  Something isn't right there.

He's blind.

Like Mr. Magoo-funny blind or old man driving into a mall, killing people-unfunny blind?
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

Isn't Mr. Magoo an old blind man would (and may have, I'm not sure) drive into a mall, killing people?

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Our old and blind people shouldn't be driving cars; they should be processed for conversion into essential nutrients for younger people.

Soylent Green isn't going to make itself.

Loor and I came acrossks like Tennessee gets another pitcher to keep an eye on.

So this prompted me to look at Tennessee's roster this guy.  Has Kyle Hendricks been discussed?

Team               League   W   L   ERA   G   GS   CG   SHO   SV   IP     H    R   ER   HR   BB     SO   GO/AO   AVG
TNS                 SOU   10   3   1.87   20   20   1     1     0   120.1    100   33   25   3   25   97   1.81            .223



Hendrick's numbers are great - and he started the Southern League All-Star game. But he's a guy who wins with guile. His stuff isn't overpowering, but he's got nice placement. I'll get excited if he puts up similar numbers against more experienced hitters in the PCL.

Hendricks got called up to Iowa. Let's see how this plays out.
TIME TO POST!
