MLB Daily Notes - May 12th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
It is Mother’s Day, and I would give a long monologue about my experience being a father for six years now and how much better and different my wife is at being a parent of young children than me and how God made women and men distinct for this exact purpose and how beautiful it all is but how scary it can be when it goes wrong, but that would mean I’d be sitting here typing on the computer during Mother’s Day morning - not advisable.
Talk to you tomorrow.
