It doesn't matter if you spread the money among a few players or one...you've got to pick the right people. I personally favor the several people approach but that doesn't mean I favored the Alonso/Jay choices. Most of us would take a small army of McCann's.

We could try a Spahn & Sain and pray for rain but we would have to find a Sain.

Don't gloat. No one likes a bragger.

Hard to understand why Ricky can't sit him for a day or two. His contract even makes it desirable. Lots of players get to sit and try to figure it out from a view on the bench.

Only 3 games back of .500 and it's almost June. 3 games over .500 would be a good target for the end of June.

You could be blind and see he had nothing left.

If they do it means RH is all in for next year.

I was going to use the Chapman comparison as well. Also, trades won't necessarily be prospects. Many teams have major league guys who are blocked. I believe that had some bearing on the Torres trade.

Leury sure looked good in this game. He's growing on me.

Nothing to be ashamed of to be an optimist.

How do you like d'em apples?

He's just been unbelievable.

And that's saying something.

I was having that same thought. Hard to believe any of us couldn't manage a game and a pen better than this.

It would be interesting if the FO brought in a Joe Gerardi. See how the team would react to tough love.

In general I don't hate Ricky like some do. But once or twice a week he does something really hard to take. When a manager seemingly doesn't see the obvious it's not easy to remain neutral.

Crap! Moncada was robbed.

Both the balls off of Marshall were kilt.

Yeah. That was a nice surprise.

Those #'s were helped quite a bit in there terribleness by Ricky. If he pulls Lopez after 5 we shrug and say not terrible. I'll give him that.

Let this game go to where the tying run is coming to the plate. Ridiculous!

He is...but why? He has obviously run out of gas.

Other than the probable Win I would agree. This wasn't really a terribly impressive outing. That triple ends it for me.

I think the tanking days are just about over. Not long now boys.

Yeah. That RH is a real bandit.
