Please, blog, may I have some more?Stephen Strasburg returned yesterday in case you’re living under a rock that doesn’t get the MLB package. Reminds me of a line Selig uses on his wife, “Hey, baby, wanna see the MLB package?” What can I say about Strasburg that hasn’t been said before? That he stinks. That hasn’t been said before.

Please, blog, may I have some more?You don’t often see a big-name closer come off the DL and not regain his job, but that’s exactly what’s happening in Colorado.
