that's like winning $1000 in the lottery (on one ticket) and turning around and buying $1000 worth
of lottery tickets with the winnings. Normally things won’t turn out well.
Quit when you are ahead.

Some people say the glass is half empty, some say half full. I say, are you going to drink that?
Two innings of Heilman is pushing the envelope but per previous post
makes A LOT more sense than when Stevens was put in .

Me either Jim
Have to admit, it is odd.
And now Gorzelanny is up – I guess Lou doesn’t see him as a long man.

Yeah, he's never seemed too keen on the long man concept.
Catch my act on Twitter as @dat_cubfan_dave.
He kind of used Marshall
Like that last year, in tandem with Harden
"When you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
Seems like he could've used Marshall or Gorzelanny like that today.
Catch my act on Twitter as @dat_cubfan_dave.
I wonder if either of those guys
Is stretched out anymore to be a several-innings pitcher. Maybe Gorzo.
"When you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
Caridad was a long reliever
for exactly one outing. Then Lou folded him into the usual rotation of one inning outings
Article on Rangers pitching rebirth in ESPN magazine
Notes that Jason Jennings is the official “emergency” pitcher. Wow they actually have a plan for that situation. What a concept.

by Doggie Stalker on Sep 11, 2009 3:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, there was a good article on SI.com...
…in the last few weeks about taking a fresh approach to starting rotations, focusing more on pitch counts than innings pitched. So for a high pitch count/high strikeout pitcher like Harden, you’d always have a long man ready to go to pitch the middle innings. It makes sense to me.
Catch my act on Twitter as @dat_cubfan_dave.
Count me as surprised
That somebody actually reads ESPN magazine. I subscribed for a year, and it was mostly useless fluff.

OT: little piece of trivia
Friend of mine’s father is next door neighbors w/ Massets dad. He got us tix last year. Sat behind the plate a few rows behind Jen Patterson (Jen Jen the engine) formerly of 670 the Score.
