I think if Heilman really wants to start...

…he should just put himself out there as a starter. It seems like some smaller market team that needs to fill out its rotation would give him a shot. Maybe even a bigger market team – I mean, the Yankees had Chad Gaudin starting this year.

That was different.

Usually it’s Soriano striking out to end the season. ;)

I have especially enjoyed my chats with Not Bruce and Drew.
I am sure the lively debates will continue in the offseason.

I hope Hendry makes it a good one!

It’s been a frustrating season, but an interesting one, too. Glad I could be here for last game.

The silver lining

is that the rest of our division is still garbage.

We only have to deal with St. Louis realistically. That 83 wins is good enough for second place by almost four games is pretty telling.

Go get ’em in 2010!

Thanks, all

for helping to make my baseball season more fun.

Even you “morons” out there are, for the most part, OK. We all share the same goal.

I’ll be in and out (so to speak) during the offseason. You all have a great time off, including the holidays.

And let’s hope 2010 brings … you know what.

See ya later.

WARNING!

This is NOT the 2010 Spring Training Schedule, it is simply the 2009 schedule transposed on to a 2010 calendar. The 2010 schedule has not been announced yet, and won’t be until well after the playoffs.

Please don’t make any travel plans based on this bogus schedule.

Oh . I thought it was a real schedule! Soory about any confusion.
