Baseball In The Daytime: 4-28-07

First off, I'd just like to thank everyone who stopped by the House over the weekend. Cecil's tireless draft-blogging efforts left him with carpal tunnel and the HoG with our two highest-traffic days ever. Anyone who thinks that the NFL is not king, or that fans don't absolutely crave offseason info about their teams, well, those folks are insane.

Getting back to the diamond after that brief gridiron respite, we're presented with but a single day game in the majors today, previewed after the jump. The baseball world is buzzing, though, over the further erosion of the reputation of my generation's greatest pitcher. Seems like Rocket has allegedly been sticking his allegedly steroid-shriveled pecker into the vag of this washed-up Nashville poon, and the whole affair allegedly started when the lass was 15. Must be good times at the ol' Clemens Ranch.

Baltimore @ Chicago White Sox, 12:05 Mountain Regular readers of BITD know about my affinity for Javier Vazquez. Do I think he's on the same level as Peavy, Santana, and Beckett? Of course not. But most fans think he's a bum, yet year in year out he always throws 200 innings, always strikes out 200 batters, always wins 15 or so games. You can set your watch to it. Today Steady Javy faces Daniel Cabrera, who is, um, somewhat less consistent. Cabrera is capable of throwing a perfect game anytime out, but he's also just as liable to get lit the fuck up. Which Cabrera will show? Find out today, and Play Ball!
