Deja vu all over again

Damn.

Can't believe the most recent post here is one of hope and optimism for the Mariners following Felix's first two starts. In the interim, Felix strained his elbow and will be out for 2-3 weeks, and the Ms completely freaked out and pulled a Crazy Ivan, losing six in a row and dropping from first to last seemingly overnight.

To paraphrase Herb Brooks, they're getting worse every day, and right now they're playing like it's the middle of August.

Need to get this post up quick and dirty just to knock the last one out of the top spot. Sheesh.

Baby update: We're 25 days from Maus's due date, and only 10 days from crossing that invisible line beyond which the word "premature" no longer applies.

Congrats to Mimi and Philip, who just launched Miyuki Audrey Katano Smith (aka Flippy) over the weekend (9 days past deadline, but I'm sure that will be overlooked by management on her first performance review).
