i expect the unexpected. trying out billy in the leadoff spot but ill be quick to pull him if matos overacheives... im thinking about trying bay out in the 2 hole and buck in the leadoff spot to shake things up if need be too. harang and jennings should bounce back, my park is still huge and their ratings are the same as they have been just about. i dont expect a repeat from sowers naturally, but if jennings goes down to 3.8, sowers goes up to 4.0, and harang is around 4.3, we should be alright with my offense. might switch up sisco and lenz at times too... obviously that would cut down on ollies innings though, since i wouldnt need him to be the lefty specialist, id just go to sisco to pitch 2 innings to bridge to lenz, if that should come about.

Damn, your team triples a lot...

sowers won 20 games? damn... that equals the amount of times dejesus has pulled his groin since we made that trade. what once looked like a pretty even trade, doesn't seem so much anymore

that villegas guy stinks btw send him to single-A and make him back up mo vaughn at first base
