He's been pretty bad as a starter this season

Half as many strikeouts as innings pitched, and nearly as many walks as strikeouts.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

put Gordon on third and Teabag in the outfield and that is a major league

The connection is very real,

but it’s Aviles who has The Calves (capitalized).

Although Shealy also has very decent calves, I guess I should give him credit for that…

Ryan has to be drunk tonight.

He has completely mangled Tuiasosopo’s name every time he’s tried to say it, and I don’t mean in that “I don’t know how to pronounce it” way, but that “screw it, I can’t get my tongue around this” way.
