For all those that care...

Video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=26972173&c_id=mlb&topic_id=vtp_head_and_shoulders Between him, Segura, Corbin, Wells, and Napoli, this is just getting comical. Next up: A John Lackey no-hitter?

It may be Kemp of the Dodgers, but this is the kind of story that really gets the point across about it being 'more than baseball'. This kid is dying of cancer and Kemp was told about it by one of the coaches. What he does may be trivial to some, but I'm sure it is one of the highlights in this guy's short lifetime. This community of HalosHeaven...where we really can call each other 'friends'. Through good times and craptastic times.

Let's hope this doesn't distract him from winning. And I wonder how she feels about the woman in the Head & Shoulders' commercial.

Jordan Norberto was released by the A's. "He was an important member of manager Bob Melvin's bullpen last season, firing 52 innings of 2.77 ERA ball with an 8.0 K/9, 3.8 BB/9 and 45.7 percent ground-ball rate." When healthy, he could definitely help this struggling bullpen. At the very least a farm hand for Salt Lake... thoughts?

The Pirates just released Jonathon Sanchez out right and he cleared waivers. When the Halos are finding it difficult to get anything going in the rotation, maybe a Dirty Sanchez and a change of pace will get the rotation back in order?

Papa Sosh is no quitter! Check out with this canoli has to say about the team's slow start... again.

The LA Times sportswriter mentioned This Blog in one of his trademark 1-sentence/1-paragraph columns. Typical Times crap-policy is to not link to blogs, of course they are terrified of anyone finding out how terrible their post-paywall readership numbers are. Dipshits.

Finally! Something to cheer about! I know a few other HH'ers have newborns, and I'm proud to join their ranks once again. My son, Charles Welsey, was born this morning at a healthy 7 lb 11 oz. Some of you remember my daughter's miraculous, premature birth 3 1/2 years ago at 2 lb 4 oz. Well, we're relieved to say this little guy cooperated and went full term with no complications. Even though Charlie's Angels aren't so hot right now, at least Charlie himself is pretty cute! Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts and prayers for us Manatees. I hope my whole pod can lumber down to meet-up game later this season.
