OK, there have been complaints about too few baseball posts lately. I don’t have much to say right now, so here’s a random diamond note poem, whose generator, I have upon good authority, has been updated with the latest roster changes.

those around
the Indians expect them to make serious runs at
       Jose Guillen

as well as
       Chipper Jones

but
if they can get
       Jake Westbrook

Cliff Bartosh

(whose velocity is still down around
71

but hopes his lucky
granola bar
can turn his fortunes around)

and Bob Howry

back on track

Eric Wedge’s biggest problem will be what to do with
       Alex Escobar

who is upset about the rumors

and has lately been
seen staying up late at night

sitting in the doorways of
phone booths

eating
sloppy joes until someone shows up

and tells him to go home

Sniff. It’s such a sad story…
