Well he got out of it, but man he looks tired and already a lot of pitches thrown. If only Suppan didn't suck and Sheets wasn't hurt wouldn't have to pitch CC on 3 days rest so much here down the stretch.
I'm very excited to see Yovani start. But also very nervous at the same time. Yovani is a very special kind of talent and has a tremendous work ethic. But I guess I should not be too nervous because if the Dr., trainers and DM signed off on this he must be in great shape.
Perfect for this week with needing help from the Cubs - Vedder is a Cub fan I thinkHe is a huge Cubs fan. When one of your favorite musicians loves the Cubs it doesn't feel good. But hell, I love the Cubs right now, and that is just sick to say.
I would rather see McClung over Suppan at this point. And that is sad considering the amount of money we pay Jeff and how "clutch" he is supposed to be.
Me to, he used to feel almost automatic when he came in. Not so much anymore. We need to get a solid lights out closer for 2009. Keep Torres as a 7th or 8th inning guy though.
I still would love Haudricourt or Trenni or someone ask Sveum in a presser why he never pinch hits Rivera for Kendall late in games? I would love to hear that answer. It worked this time but man I just don't know how Sveum does it. Now Dillon PH, man I miss Kapler.
