If PK is going to play, can't Ozzie at least hit him 6th until he starts swinging.
No kidding. I'd swap him with Carlos who's had much better ABs lately.

My predicted line for Freddy tonight:
5 1/3, 1 run, 5 hits, 2 BBs, 5 Ks.
I think its going to be a good debut.
Can't help but to think that number will be higher. Hope I'm wrong.
7th - Thornton or Dotel
8th - Thornton or Dotel
9th - Jenks
Long relief - Carrasco/Pena
Loogy - Williams
Mop up duties - Linebrink/Pena
Who am I missing?

I'd move Alexei back to 2B next season and find a free agent SS or 3B this winter. One potential in-house solution would be Nix at 3B and Beckham at SS, although I'm not sure if Nix can play the hot corner that well (he's been a disaster at SS).
Beckham's poor range at 3rd doesn't seem to translate well to SS.

Hey, freedom isn't free!
Maybe the death panel isn't a bad idea after all. Maybe they can put me out of my misery.

That's the point. You don't have a fiscally smart decision to make in the current system. You take whatever your company offers or you pay out the ass.
What a terrific "choice"!

It's still someone's choice.
I've wanted to move into NYC for over a year now but with the economy I'm just riding it out where I am. Once it get's better I may start to look again. But, again, it's my choice. And yes, having the health insurance I have does factor into it.
When less than 1% of people decline their employer's health insurance and go out and get some on their own I fail to see that as a true choice. And yes I made that figure up but I'm probably not far off.
