Strong outing for Mike Pelfrey

Pelfrey Finally Puts Together a Solid Spring Outing

I see that I’m going to have to be the bad guy, once again. Not that I expect your major websites to harp on this, but somebody has to say it. I’m fine with it being me. But …

IT’S THE ASTROS!

You see that lineup? Shutting down Florida State would have shown me more. Shutting down the Florida State water polo team would have shown me more. Shutting down the Monsignor McClancy High School water polo team would have shown me more, and I’m not sure McClancy has a water polo program. I’m not even sure they have a pool.

I know, I’m a big meanie. Maybe I’m just upset that Adam Loewen didn’t make the team, but I shouldn’t be because it just gives me a couple of months to trademark all licensing and merchandising rights to the term “Loewensanity” before he’s called up to replace the other seven outfielders when they all land on the disabled list with phlegm. So what the hell is my problem anyway?

Oh right, it’s that a six and 1/3 inning outing against the cast of Glee lowered his ERA to 8.59. Thaaaaaaaaaaat’s my problem. But hey, at least David Wright hit a grand slam off a Livan Hernandez pitch that would be considered lethal … in softball. So I’ll rest easy. I’d rest easier if the cast of Barney and Friends* wasn’t going to the American League next season to hand out free wins to the Yankees.

*Barney being Carlos Lee, of course.
