but this team has issues. The injury excuse is lame and even with D Lee is healthy he isn’t right. Soto isn’t right. Big Z has number #1 stuff, but isn’t a #1. Our best hitter is Fukodome right now (doesn’t that say it all). Wow, we need some wins to make all of this feel better.

It is a well know fact

Not sounding negative, but I think we’ll be lucky to go 1-2 the next three days.

I've learned many things this year
1. Joey Gathright sucks a lot. I think he’s struck out on every ab this year.
2. Mike Fontenot is not really versatile. He’s a second baseman and thats it.
3. David Patton can not pitch for shit.
4. Neal Cotts " "
5. Geovany Soto can not throw out baserunners.
I kindof wish Hendry and Lou would have learned that, during the offseason

I just don’t understand why, if Soto is hurt, why we’re trotting him out there? If he’s this hurt, where he can’t hit, and he’s a liability on defense, then it might be time to DL him
