April went about as poorly as I could possible imagine. We lost 11 games in a row en route to a 4-20 record. We've lost 14 of the last 15. If I hadn't checked "cannot be fired" I would be concerned about my job security.

We have exactly two bright spots- Tatsuma Kudo and the bullpen- and the rest is misery. Kudo is off to a good start: .319/5/14. The relievers have a 3.42 ERA overall. But generally, the games have been lost well before they get to the bullpen. "Ace" A.J. Puckett is 0-3 with a 7.92 ERA, and rookie Luis Patino (he of the noble charity) is 0-4, 6.67.

I claimed outfielder Carlos David Rodriguez off waivers. Rodriguez is a pure center fielder, and at 22 years old could develop into a great player for us, but of course for now is hitting .089, because he plays for the Expos. I almost signed reliever Corey Knebel for $10M, but lost in the bidding war, which is retrospect was good, because um, I don't need a closer.

Around the league:
-The Cubs have the best record in baseball at 19-5.
-Vladmir Guerrero Jr. (TOR) has 13 home runs already.
