pre.s. counted injuns -102 as fave(meow) as I'm only counting +100 or better as doggieness.
(in case the MJ Security Agency is watching)
Well, that was more fun than Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (used to be in Alberta, same as me,
in case it moved, too). Hit both early soccer and even grabbed some ice kings (regulation, +213)
(toot) to go along with the diamonds. Thought it was my best day since mlb began but checked back
and had a slightly better May 10th due to a bunch of soccer flukeage.
I got smoked May 11th (anti-toot), in case you believe in omens.

--Beckett's doing some good work lately with only a concern for keeping the ball
in the park--one area where the Reds are producing better than lad lately--but
forecast calls for medium wind in from right and, unfortunately, a 70% chance of
T(erminator)-Storms; while having a good '14, recovering criminal Leake is coming
off of 3 progressively worse starts including his last home to sf (I guess without
the 2-run HR and 3-run HR he had a shutout going)...Reds are 2-7 over his past 9
starts and are only 1-4 in his 5 home starts; Reds offense--bad all season--is
suffering more due to key bat, and Torontonian, Joey Votto remaining out; Monday's
current progress is also (mildly) incentivizing
--Minor is hot and has good numbers vs in 5 (was smoked at Coors in '12 but had a
much better start their in '13)...only 2 road starts, so far this year, but shut down
the Giants and later the Bosox on road; Nicasio has had several disaster starts this
season including his past 2 (@Clev, H to ariz)...he did shut the braves done his start
prior, at Turner, but was horrible vs in 4 prior go's; braves not hitting well (incl.
early Monday) and I prefer 'em vs L, but they did score 13 in their 3-game series at
Ariz (5,3,5) and will be slightly more acclimatized for Tuesday's action then their
Bergman no-hitness (good grief) Monday; Rox not smokin' at home like earlier this
season and projected wind out to left should help braves more as Nicasio has much more
trouble keeping the ball in the park, not to mention the braves predominantly right-
handed lineup; braves clearly the better bullpen
--might still try injuns but I fear the unknown (price)
--have to wait for Tanaka facing Chris Young and price won't entice as nice
--Koehler worth a shot and marlins, off off-day, starting to hit better vs R and have
beaten 2 of the 3 righties they've faced on current road trip (beat Ordorizzi & Arrieta,
lost to Hammel in between); Rangers season continues to go grim--mostly due to
injuries to pitchers--and their unimpressive bullpen got a workout in that injuns
series with Tepesch & Saunders lasting 5.1 ip each (Sat & Sun) and Nick'ed (I'll say)
Martinez lasting only 2 ip Monday
--price is fair on Waincards as the road doesn't faze Adam especially during Eve'ning;
I like the Happ-Correia situation better than the Dickey-Nolasco one, and re-revved
Jaysticks should enjoy facing the .321 baa Correia, especially with current Jays hitting
.313 off him (.969 OPS) with Bautista 6-for-9 2 HR, Encarnacion 6-for-24 & 2 HR,
Lawrie 3-for-3 1 HR, Lind 3-for-11 1 HR, and Reyes 10-for-28 with 2B, 3B, and, you
guessed it, an HR; with a medium wind out to left projected I might add some runline action
but Pinnhead is currently down for 'maintenance'
Maybe more to come barring head-smashed-in trip to the washroom fall.
