    You aren't? Why not? He is one of the best pitchers in the game.

    We got Harang going up against him, sure he's great but he's not impossible to get by

    well Harang did shut him down earlier in this season at Busch so hopefully we get another Ace performance

    That lineup is better than usual. I don't like Valentin starting, but if it helps Ramirez, I guess that's OK. I'd still rather see Castro at SS over Clayton if we aren't going to make the infield the way it should be(Phillips at SS).

    Yep, that's my thoughts on Valentin. It's understandable for Ramirez being a young pitcher to give him what he's comfortable with.

    At this juncture, I would rather face Mulder than Carpenter.

    This Bailey special is really nice to see. And you can really visually see how much bigger he has got as they have gone from his HS footage to the Lookouts footage.

    They were also talking about us getting Kearns or Lopez back from the nationals for knowingly giving us damaged goods, anybody think there is any truth to that?

    And just so everyone knows, Narron apparently said on pre-game that Bray is unavailable to pitch tonight(I guess due to too much use just as was apparently the case for Weathers and Cormier last night). I wonder if he'll leave a struggling pitcher in until he gives up tons of Runs because of that?

    Wow. I would KILL (don't put it past me) to get back FeLo.

    Is it the pitcher prospect or Majewski?

    Majewski supposedly was injured before being traded.

    The way I've heard it made it seem we would get either Kearns or Lopez or let them keep them and get another one of their pitchers. Rauch has been one name thrown around by some.

    See now this is exactly the kind of things I am talking about. You don't make anyone unavailable to give us what they have got in this series. He made a decent lineup and that is half the battle and I am cool with that. But he is already stating that his night with managing the bullpen will be of his normal ignorance. What a shame...

    I probably would take Lopez over Kearns, btw, not because I don't like Kearns, but because of the way Freel can play RF as we all know. I think Lopez clearly fills a bigger hole, as it would mean bye-bye to Royce.

    I miss FeLo's abillity to take so many damn pitches to get guys like Dunn and Griffey to know the entire selection of a pitcher. That really helps when we faced studly pitchers.

    Rauch is a guy I thought we should of gotten in the original deal (at the very least).
