This game needs more offense.

I can't believe I'm certain this team will loose facing only a two run deficit.

I hate how all-star'ish teams look against us

Greinke doing his Webb impression, Tony Pena Jr. just got a hit to break an 0-for the season past the first game.. Olivo HR? Jesus.

Washburn is powerfully boring to watch

We need a drinking game to make his starts more interesting.

Maybe they're moving Dickey to the rotation so he is unavailable? Please?

by I'm NOT Corco on Apr 14, 2008 8:22 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It sounded like Mac

was leaning towards putting Dickey in the rotation if Bedard misses a lot of time.

by BrianL on Apr 14, 2008 8:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

They did say that according to Jose Romero on Baker's blog..

Dickey could slide in to Bedards spot in the rotation if it is worse than they think

do you think Dickey will go into?

had that same play in RF last night......

He broke his shoulder trying.

Not Morse's fault

it's Ichi's fault, he hurts the team by not covering left and right field when Ibanez and Morse are in

Well...Washburn hasn't

been horrible. Much more the offense's fault.

But any time you get taken yard by Miguel Olivo, you can't be too satisfied with the work thats been done

and then he'll start tomorrow, and when his arm falls off they'll send him down

They'll pitch him the rest of the game

and when he gets rocked after throwing 50 pitches, they'll send him to Everett to work it out
