Must find something

  • There has to be something to complain about from last night's game, something I can jump all over the team, or an individual for. If there are too many of these top to bottom well played games, I'm not going to have much to talk about.

    No complaints on either side of the ball last night. You might ask Trot why the heck he dove for a ball that he had no chance at all of catching, but other than that I'd say things went well.

  • The trade rumors involving Shea are starting up again, and I just hope Theo comes to his senses before he does something dumb. Like trade for the Reds Scott Williamson. I know Williamson is a good pitcher, but he's also and injury away from his career being over. All we'd need is for his arm to blow out right after the deal is made. There's that, and the way Shea is playing right now (carrying the team) you had better get one of the closing elite, not one just on the edge of the upper echelon.
