No offense but you just proved my point. Last season: Arow heats up, KW Trades for Carl Everett, Arow on Bench (NO chance) This season: Arow heats up, Maggs will come back, hopefully Arow gets a shot this time. For god sakes give him a shot...

I just hope this isn't a downward sprial that leaves us in 4th place. Garland shouldn't of been left in there...

I just want to win this game... I'm just sick of losing to s***ty teams and having to beat the good ones.

Bulls***... This is the first time in forever he has gotten any kind of consistant playing time. Besides he's a slow starter but he's never once been given a chance. I think he needs a legit shot before we just say he can't do it when he has never had the chance too.

Your right if Clemens left them cookie, after cookie, after cookie. Of course in reality any decent pitcher would of owned them...

For god sakes they are paid to keep the game interesting. If they don't people don't tune in and they lose the job. Believe it or not people want to to hear good things about the product on the field, not we suck, can't come back, and this game is over!

Am I the only one wishing that this trade would of been real....

Well we need to just not screw him over. He threw more stikes then anyone else. I know that Diaz could of put down a s***ty team like the Expos....

We need to keep Diaz on schedule so we can start him if a trade doesn't happen. We need to not screw him over this time...

Buy that ball machine the royals hitters use... We'll get a better result with that....

I trust Shingo a hell of alot more then Cotts to keep it close...

Besides I agree with you guys. We need to make a trade somewhere or find a 5th starter somewhere else. The entire point of this thread is that Diaz is still our best in house option....

If anyone needs to be given walking papers it's Politte. Jackson has looked like an ace compared to that jackass...

We need to try and package Politte and Jackson for some random A ball kid. Then we need to make sure we only let Cotts pitch ONE INNING for god sakes...

In answer to your ? I would of used Shingo for 2 innings

Well do you at least agree that IF we can't get a trade that Diaz is better then nothing... Hell i'd even settle for Rauch at this rate but Diaz is the best option that we have without a trade. If we don't get a trade we need to bring up Diaz....

Diaz need to be given a fair shot... When he got his "chances" he started on like 10 days rest and then again on 3 days rest! That is not a fair chance when your making your major league start. He never pitched anywhere near this bad either. Until we make a trade Diaz needs to be given a fair shot. I'm sick of these Diaz got his shot crap either. He never got a fair shot. Munoz did and failed. For god sakes give Diaz one!

Diaz needs to be up next and stay up until we make a trade. I'm sick of this Munoz should never of been up he hasn't even been a starter that long.

Difference Munoz had 5 days rest Diaz didn't. Plus Diaz never did anywhere near this bad. Thus Diaz deserves the next chance. Munoz should never appear in a major league game again this season and he should of never of been up at all. It's just a shame the best of the bunch can't get a real chance because the team screwed him over. Diaz can do it I say bring him up...

No Cotts was the nail in the Coffin. I don't blame him though because he should of never been out there for a second inning.

For god sakes all of you are acting like Diaz got a fair shot. He was not only turning a corner but when he did start he started on 10 days rest or something from his last minor league start and then again on three days rest. That can screw up the most seasoned veteran and you expect some kid making his debut to pitch perfect. Diaz should get a fair shot. Start a game on 5 days rest and see what he can do. Diaz never did anywhere near this bad and it's only fair that since he did the best out of any of them and was the most screwed around with that he should get another shot.

This team didn't give up until Ozzie was stupid and left Cotts out there and he hung that huge cookie for a two run homer. GOD THIS GAME WAS SO WINNIABLE. Jackson wasn't so bad. Politte should never be allowed to pitch again (Worse then Koch ever was) Cotts should of been taken out after one inning. In such a close game we should of brought in Shingo (Which we did but WAY too late). I believe we could of still of tied but one run is alot fewer to go for then 3. GOD I'M SO PISSED! NO excuses for a guy like Munoz to start either when Diaz got nothing even resembling a fair chance. I mean when he starts on 10 days rest and then again on 3 days rest when he was making his major league debut is setting him up to fail and making it really hard on him. If we can't make a trade before next week for god sakes give Diaz a fair shot (On 5 days rest). Even all screwed up Diaz never pitched this bad...

I'm just hoping the Expos are as pathetic as they seem and Arnie can run them over... I just don't like his chances but i'm biting my lip and putting a smile on my face.... :fyou

Crede will be fine. I will consider him batting .250 at the end of the year a success considering how bad he started and also the tough position he plays. Of course for that to be acceptable he has to hit at least 20 HR's and drive in at least 70+ RBI's. He can do it though....

I just hope that Ozzie has learned his lesson. Timo Perez should not be our lead off hitter. If he's going to insist on playing him at least put Uribe at lead off and AROW at #2 (Who always has exceled at that spot his entire career).
