I didn't judge a pitcher by a single appearance. I just said it was funny that the subject was getting lit up as the writer posted his article. The true definition of irony. A result that is the exact opposite of that which was intended, almost as if being mocked by fate. Thanks for the article. It was content-y. I post stuff, too. Most of it is thumb-twiddling until the actual games start. I jones for any actual reporting. Phalen turns out a bunch of this stuff. The "Here's a Move the Sox Should Consider Making" article about a guy put on waivers. Here's one about Eloy. White Sox fans might cringe at slugging disappointment's Blue Jays comeback bid It's all good.

I was actually hoping that Rolison would pass through waivers and get outrighted. I guess 7 weeks before pitchers and catchers report, teams are grabbing up every catcher and lefty reliever that comes over the wire. Rolison was DFAed to grab Romo.

Then I'm guessing the White Sox aren't ruing trying to slip Rolison through waivers.

If they're going to try to hold and win 1-run games, they should probably put their set-up guys and closer into the high-leverage situations instead of guys who will be throwing AAA innings for most of this season.

Once I click back into the topic listing, I may never think about Ryan Rolison again in my life.

Chris Murphy had a prettier outing than Newcomb.

The funniest part is that article was written during Monday's 17-9 shellacking of the Cubs at the hands of the Reds. Rolison came into the game in the 3rd with one out, and proceeded to give up: single, single, walk, double, walk, home run. 6 runs. I suppose the heads he's turning are watching balls fly out of the ball park. His spring ERA is 27.00, and his WHIP is 3.50

Jon Berti told him, "forgeddabout it, I'm-a the second baseman!!"

4 baserunners in the first, 1 run. Midseason form.

Apparently, there's a Padres' audio stream, but I don't know where to find it.

There go his chances at the HOF.

Meidroth had 3 errors at 2B and 9 at SS. Neither were anywhere near the most at either position.

James Fox was saying something like that on last week's FutureSox podcast. WST may have dropped the ball by not taking Acuña's prospect seriously, and pretending it was only a salary dump. They'd wanted Acuña for over a year.

I would definitely be spending my weekends selling flowers and prayer beads at the airport for Chris Getz.

Hoo, boy. I'm not sure I'm prepared to start fantasizing about what Acuña could be.
