Rest

I made a comment to a friend of mine that for the first time in a long while I didn't have anything to do today -- pressing commitments and such -- and it was nice.  And it has been; I've done nothing too much, caught up on some email, hit the gym, made crab dip, reached the halfway point of Grant, but nothing major or Earth-shattering. Of course, resting and reading is quite enough, in all due respect.

Pretty cool to see Clevinger get the CG; only 3Ks, but 110 pitches for him is pretty nice, especially given how he can be all over the place. Not saying we should expect this every time, but you see the stuff and the pitch economy, and one does feel better about rotation.

Is it me or do the celebrity deaths seem to be coming a little faster this year?  To be sure, the most recent two -- Avicii and Mini-Me -- might be, um, self-inflicted, in one way or another but the pace seems awfully high.  In the words of Scot Pollard, don't do drugs, kids!  Ok, maybe not...
