D for Dave's Vendetta

Former compadre Dave Williams shut down his old team in a completely meaningless game today, though I'm sure he still got some measure of satisfaction from it, especially given the way he's pitched this spring (which is to say, awfully). Paul Maholm (aka "Hopefully not Dave Williams Jr." as I like to think of him) got lit up by the Reds offense to the tune of 6 hits and 6 runs in 4 innings today. Giovanni Carrera, Mike Gonzalez, Terry Adams (who's apparently noticed that there's still not a token old reliever with a beard that's a lock for the roster), and Ryan Vogelsong (who pitched two scoreless giving up 3 hits and a walk in an effort to keep his job) shutout the Reds over the last five innings, allowing only 4 hits and a couple of walks. I was hoping for an in-person game recap from Red-Hot-Mama, but she's apparently taking a day of vacation from her baseball vacation.
