So roster moves...

Donaldson/Cahill up, Suzuki to the DL, Carson down to AAA. Wait, Carson was on the roster? Missed that. I was miffed yesterday with the donaldson call up, but I guess I don't care now. Our season has basically already been fucked by injuries, may as well try an catch a random spark from a young player, worst that happens is we learn where he is in his development.

japanese has lost its fun

this is why i hate school. japanese was never school. it was a grand cultural reclamation project. it was something more to me, the grade at the end didnt matter. so of course, my best class was always japanese, it was the only class i actually wanted to go to and learn abotu and improve in. except that feeling is almost all gone for some reason. im not really learning anymore, just putting tons of symbols and words into my short term memory. im suposed to make a 3 min speech tomorrow. mine will be a minute if im lucky. just cant write anything. assignment is so stupid. dont really care at this point. fml. and i hate that expression. but seriously. fml. id say i wish i could sleep forever but, lately my dreams have been horribly unpleasant.

UGH

BAD FUCKING DAY. Hope is such an incredible thing. Take it away and what are you left with. Not much. I dunno what Ima do with my life. Everything looks impossible. I'm not alone but...somehow this feels worse.

Early Season Thoughts

BRETT ANDERSON EXTENSION WOOOOO! Also, BRETT ANDERSON DOMINANCE WOOO!

Gio has also been pretty awesome. Actually, everyone besides Sheets has been awesome, and I'm not panicking on Sheets yet...ok I am panicking, but he could still easily revert to being an above average pitcher.

On offense, not much happiness, but that was expected. Barton has been insane. I was optimistic about Barton, he won't be this awesome all season, obviously, but if he can throw up a .400+ OBP I will be ecstatic. Pennington has been better than expected, but that might be because I'm really pessimistic about him.

The bench has been great. Rosales is a beast. Gross has had a nifty start. Patterson...well, I still believe in him.

I've been enjoying the whole first place thing, but I've been realisitc. Yes, we have been playing really well, and the performances havent been all that flukey good, but still our competition has been...less than stellar. M's, well, I've said many times I'm not a believer, and without Lee they are pretty much a joke. Angels and Rangers are just not great teams, better than us, maybe, but still not that strong. And then theres the orioles...yea...I love free wins.
