Calvin and Hobbes.

I wouldn't mind reading a write up on Ho Ram someday. It would be fun to put how horrific he was into words.

I'll write it.

Huh

I find it immensely ironic/prophetic that the closest projection belonged to someone with the handle "BringbackSoriano."

Go M's!

I haven't heard anything

Is this load being brought back next year? And if so, in what capacity?

I thought that one

I'm not gonna lie

I thought HoRam was gonna be at least mediocre. I guess I learned my lesson that pitchers with no talent aren't good.

In my defense

I didn't see his K/9 going down, his GB% dropping that much, and his BABIP rising.

That's what happens when you leave the JV League.

Haracio is the car

With the downed snowman being our playoff hopes. The one on the right is Vidro.

hard to believe

that there is talk of him throwing another pitch for the M's. Criminy. Most any combination of a whole host of not ready for prime time starters would do considerably better filling the back end of the rotation. I can't see it happening.
