You know we’re approaching rock bottom when I can say that if it wasn’t for McLouth’s homerun earlier this week that our best day was Thursday when we were off. Other than failing to hit, pitch, and field we’ve played pretty well considering our only off-season moves involved new personnel in the front office. Too bad none of these guys can play, huh?

What a great choice of a day to go see the Bucs invade Wrigley….......

Other than the fact that we LOST BY 12 Wrigley was an enjoyable experience though

I didn’t miss much while spending the entire game-time at work.

Is Gorzo going the way of Duke last year?

Would someone please explain to me why Russell would choose to work out so many in the bullpen in a 13-1 blowout? Why not leave one guy in and let him pitch 4 innings rather than risk wearing out the bullpen. I had better not hear Russell bemoaning that his bullpen is tired this week. These managers all feel they have to micro-manage their bullpens to justify their pay and before you know it everyone is tired. While I’m on the subject: why not let a reliever who is pitching effectively in the 6-8 innings throw more than one inning? So what if he can’t pitch the next day? A win counts the same everyday. LOOGY? I hate that term. Let’ em pitch 2-3 innings at a time and you’ll always have a rested bullpen. Plus, you might actually have a decent pitcher available for the 11th inning if needed. Geesh! Are these guys brain-dead or what?
