There's something called a Sean O'Sullivan pitching for the Red Sox tonight. If you had told me Sean O'Sullivan would be starting for the Red Sox in May I would've said "who?"

I'm amazed that the Washington Nationals lineup still has Harper batting third with two guys at the Mendoza line around him, meanwhile Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos are down the order.

Cubs just got done with back-to-back sweeps of the Nats and Pirates, two of the best teams in the NL, so it's time for them to get swept by the Padres.

Conventional wisdom is that he'll get up in the first inning, and hopefully with guys on base.
But unless he has truly great OBP hitters in front of him, he'll be batting with 2 outs and nobody on more than any other spot.
