Ervin Santana Tonight

Since I usually come to LL to tap into the insight and wisdom of Jeff Sullivan & co and I have no interest in being a troll.

Here’s a little explanation of how I arrived at this pretty pass:
I read the title of post this morning: “Ervin Santana Tonight”, and thought, that sounds odd.
I read the timestamp as May 26, 1.14am, failed to notice the “EDT” and remained confused.
The only word that Jeff wrote about Santana getting slapped around in his most recent start was “Yikes”, which didn’t give me much of a clue. He could as easily have been voicing concern about the Mariners’ low chances of success against a decent right-hander.
 
I thought, perhaps, that this was an abortive article from last Thursday that was inadvertantly posted today due to a technical glitch or user error. After all it would hardly be the first time such a thing happened on a site like this.

I posted my initial comment and was mocked for it. That irked me, and, I admit, I’m now well past the point of logic in attempting to explain myself here. I shall just sod off and get over it.

However, what’s been keeping my hooked is that I don’t understand where, in the above chain of events, Matthew thinks I failed to grasp the logic of a simple statement.

And thus not as painful as Rob Johnson the catcher, therefore Rob Johnson is a phone.
