Well, Homer is the #4 starter, so who knows what we've got in store for us tonight.

Not a bad point. Why is Leake the 5th starter for this team? He put together a better 2011 than Bailey has ever had.

Oh Dusty.

I think it has something to do with the type of pitcher they are. Latos is similar to Bailey - stuff pitchers. Arroyo and Leake are both more finesse pitchers. So you stagger them. 2 through 4. Stuff-finesse-stuff-finesse. Kinda like not hitting lefties back to back.

That is just a guestimation on my part.

I could not have said it better. There is no excuse for the way our offense has played the last two games. Westbrook couldn't find the strike zone to save his life and our players are up there swinging away. Sadly this is a common thing in the Dusty era.

Way too early to make a post like this. A lot can happen as there are too many knee-jerk reactions.

With that said, I hope Homer has saved enough money to buy a lifetime subscription to Field and Stream magazine because he might have a lot of free time on his hands.

anybody see pics of Devin blowing up in the dugout yesterday???!!! Dusty has to go!!!

^Maybe he was just pissed he let a ball get by him that won the game (I dont know, didnt see what your talking about, so not sure of timing when this supposedly happened)?
