Seth Smith led off the game on April 22nd.  It seemed a pleasant little dream, but we had no confidence that an old-school manager would keep a slow player (90 speed index) there.

But since April 22, Smith has never hit anywhere but #1 or #2.  In the fifteen games since, he's hit in either spot half the time.

Compare his two slash lines:

On the Frank Clark controversy

.

Geoff Baker, a HOF-destined sportswriter, has two articles up.  The first one questions whether the Seahawks had the ethical right to draft Frank Clark, in the 1st round or the 7th.  The second article (commendably) quotes the prosecutor to the effect that Clark is fine.

A few questions, after which Mojo or anybody else can point the hapless Dr. D in the right direction:

......

OK, the Seahawks won't draft anybody who ever hit a woman -- even if our judicial system has already extracted the full penalty the man owes society.

Since when do we privatize the punishment of crime?  When mob sentiment is the mechanism for calibrating a man's penalties, isn't that what they used to call a "lynching"?
