I am now fully convinced that Narron doesn't look at stats when filling out lineups. Dunn is 3 for 5 with two doubles and a homerun in his career vs Horacio Ramirez. Instead of sitting him against Petitte a few days, who owns Dunn - they bench him against a guy that Dunn has always hit well.
BTW, Hal McCoy says Ortiz will be back next season. O'Brien should be tarred and feathered outside the GAB if he brings back Ortiz.

Hal is not always right.

FWIW I bet Dunn would rather play at night in a dome in front of his parents then on a muggy afternoon in a day game following a night game.

I like EE in the 2 spot, get him some at bats with protection.
No Dunn.. :runaway:

Griffey now tied with Dunn in the homerun category. I think Griffey will finish with more. Griffey's season is improving while Dunn's has been on a decline since August 1st.
