I do not think Bonds will play today but since he missed yesterday who knows!
We are already doing this if you look at our bullpen and the other callups we have made like Frandsen. Age is not a problem as our old guys are doing well. Vizquel is playing like he is 30 and Finley is doing great. Look what Alou was doing before he got hurt. You guys keep complaining about an inconsistent offense. This is Alou's fault!!!! When you don't have a set lineup and guys don't know their roles, this is exactly what is going to happen. One day Feliz is hitting third and the next he is 8th. This is doing no one any good especially the team. Hell even our younger guys like Niekro and Feliz aren't doing well so to say its age is misleading.Quote:

Winn needs a couple of days off as does Vizquel, but Vizquel is our best hitter and will have to settle for just one day off. He will need to get more rest because I don't want to see him burn out like he did last year.
I have no problem with days off just not everybody at the same time. JMO
I do want Ellison more playing time! Why else is this guy on the roster?
At this moment, Alou has said to "be Barry's caddie"!:)
Bonds is not in the lineup and Ellison is in RF. Giants are up 3-0 in the 4th because of a Finley 2 run blast and a RBI single from Durham. That homerun was #299 for Finley!
Yeah I don't like how Alou seems to think EVERYBODY needs to rest on the same day.
It seems obvious that in the Gaints' sitaution that is the kiss of death! :mad:
I don't mind Alou resting two guys when Schmidt is on the mound. Jason has 9 strikeouts in 5 innings.
But why? Maybe we could win a ball game with Jason pitching. Instead we weaken the lineup and Schmidt gets beat 2-1. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. :rolleyes:Quote:

3-1 now after a sac fly after another triple from Ramirez. That kid is going to be something!
Gotta pick your spots. In the middle of a three games losing streak, on the road I don't think that is the time to rest too many of your stars -- -especially in June.Quote:
