He also mentioned, though, that he heard there was a blogger on KJR today saying Morrow would be starting on Monday. I don't know who that would have been.

Her statement about who writes for the M's website was confusing. Who the hell write for them then? Random people picked up off the street?

For an analogy, when Raul Ibanez was with KC, he was sent down; and he was back up in a couple of days. Another position player had been DL'd. [This is the exception.] So, if FELIX goes on the DL, that makes it possible for the Ms to recall another pitcher, even someone (Woods) who's just been sent down.

Apparently Weaver is the probable starter against LAA on Sunday. I am choosing not to believer such nonsense since it appears on that crazy blog known as the M's official website. After all, who would start Jeff Weaver in a major league game? I saw this other crazy rumor. Apparently Weaver is the probable starter against LAA on Sunday.

Not sure what it being April has to do with it, I guess he thinks it is OK to do dumb things early in the season. Maybe the games are worth less in April than they are later in the season?
