Bautista and Lawrie Slug Jays Past Royals 4-3

I’m hoping our guys having good years won’t regress too much (Alex won’t, Billy won’t, Hosmer will improve and his defense won’t look as bad on Fangraphs WAR, Melky probably won’t since he’s hitting better from both sides of the plate this year, and Frenchy probably will because he’s not hitting righties that well and he’s flukishly killing lefties).

We got what we wanted in the infield, with Johnny G and Moose, who we have to hope are going to get better, and Alcides, who won’t hit much better than .250/.300/.350 but is a human vacuum cleaner. At catcher we got Brayan, who’s OK, and we need a RH hitting backup. Even our bullpen is OK. Now if we could only sign three good starters.

My wife and I are currently spending a couple of weeks of vacation in her hometown of Vallfogona de Riucorb, far away from anything. We can’t even get an ADSL connection out here and so I have to go down to the local bar to use the Internet; the regional government has put in a satellite connection that anybody can use in order to keep us townspeople connected with the world.

Here’s our house. It’s huge and really old but not luxurious at all. My wife inherited it from her folks. At one time it was the rectory, and it’s of historic interest because some famous priest guy lived there.

Next Monday it’s back home and back to work. Bummer.
