I was thinking about starting my homework when the new gamethread started
but this is much too soon, and I don’t want to do homework yet.
It's May.
You should have given up on homework awhile ago.

Triva answer: "Black Jack" McDowell of the White Sox
don’t recall the name of his band, though. One-word name…anyone?
Probably a Pearl Jam reference
McDowell was a huge fan and vice-versa. “stick figure” is the band’s early logo.
Five walks and eight hits, too.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
The Brewers overcame a 9-0 deficit once to beat the Reds
That was the second day in a row that Bill Hall happened to the Reds. Fortunately he’s still on our team.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Parra is a team player
That walk makes Kendall’s passed ball meaningless.

JDLR is actually a great comp for Manny
He had a bunch of pitches too, didn’t he?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
If you’re talking about last year, yeah. But JDLR’s career year last season was as good as Manny’s only season, both around 4.10 fielding independent.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
I didn't necessarily mean in value
Just that they’re both left-handed, both seem bound and determined to walk people no matter what, and both have like six pitches.

Oh, then sure
I do like how a Suppan 5+ innings, 2 ER start is a gritty battling game that he gutted out a win, and a Parra 5+, 2 ER is a frustrating testament to his incompetence. Parra is pretty underrated among the media types and the rambling bloggers.
