Quote of the day
"I don't think anything's been lifted off my shoulders, man. … [The fans have] been waiting and they've been impatient, and the last couple of days I heard some boos out there, but that's part of it. I touched on that the other day. If I could boo myself, I'd do it myself, too." -- Angels OF Albert Pujols, after hitting his first home run of the season

Daily blurb
I’m in the process of migrating to a new server with an updated operating system, a new processor, and a lot more RAM. As I’m sure some of you have noticed, four times over the past month, the server has gotten so overloaded that accessibility was impossible. The stress is coming from DailyBaseballData.com, which is experiencing traffic at double the level of last year. DBD was migrated last night, so the traffic congestion issues should be solved going forward. The other rotoguru domains will be moved over the next week or two. Hopefully, you’ll never notice the shift – although the forum will need to be hut down for a few hours when the final transfer is done. I’ll clue you in when that’s about to happen.

I’m also getting prepared for a special daily freeroll contest to be hosted at DraftStreet this coming Friday. Details to follow – but this one will be exclusively for users of RotoGuru and DBD, so it won’t have such a ridiculous number of entrants. Stay tuned.

In baseball, Cole Hamels intentionally hits Bryce Harper in the first inning (and admitted it after the game.) After advancing to third base on a single, Harper then steals home against Hamels. That was the only run surrendered by Hamels over 8 innings, as the Phillies went on to win 9-3. The Hamels-Harper dynamics may be worth following. Good stuff!

In GuruGolf, congrats to mashies, whose -46 was the top best ball score for the weekend. Worst ball honors went to GRAMPS (+45).

Another notable baseball nugget was the final pitching matchup in the Baltimore/BoSox game, where Chris Davis got the win after going 0-8 at the plate. It has probably been many decades since something like that has happened. Back when pitchers went long innings and still couldn't hit.
