If Julio didn't suck so bad we would be 6-1 though.

Anyway Tank could be a good closer, but I like him even more as a setup man or a guy to get tough lefties out in tough spots. Out of all the active guys I like Owens as the closer because he has good stuff and is mentally tough.

De Aza :yes: 7 game hit streak to start his career, and none of them were cheap. Stupid ball had to bounce over the wall though, with his speed thats most likely a triple if it stays in the yard.

Last things :lol: this pic pretty much sums up Julio

the hitting is amazing, we have scored at least 5 runs every game pretty much
 
Anybody ever sit in the Fish Tank? I'll probably sit there for the Mets series.

Never. I always sit in dead center for some reason or on occasion near the first base foul line. I sat behind home plate once and hated it.

The reason I always sit in dead center is because when Preston Wilson played for us he would always throw be balls between innings, and he was my favorite player so it was a great experience. I wish I could go to more games now but no-one has a schedule where they can take me, and I'm the only baseball fan in my house anyway so no-one is interested in taking me either.

Anyway Vanden Hurk makes his major league debut tonight, personally I was hoping we would call up Voldstad (I think thats how it's spelled) but it should be fun to see what this kid has. I'm not happy with Nolasco as the 5th starter I really think we can do better, and I'm not sold on Mitre as the 5th starter when Johnson comes back either. So it would be great if he could step up and pitch well for us.

I think Volstad would have been a mstake, IMO. Still too green.

To be honest, if Rick can keep the Brewers at 5 runs and go 5 innings, it would be a successful start, IMO. Remember, he has yet to pitch above high A ball, and even then, it was only 25 innings.

Interesting to see how his stuff compares to MLB hitters, this early in his development.
 
Vanden Hurk was not the first choice, pero he is the only one that hasn't had a start recently.

Something I was reading on another board in regard to Olsen and Sanchez. Both are still very raw. Everybody was projecting Olsen to be a full time starter this year but expected him to be demoted last year. Sandchez is still very raw, and everybody was projecting him in the rotation next year at the earliest.

Nolasco and Mitre will be traded at some point to make room for Volstad next year (or Nolasco will move to closer).

I definatly can not wait for Johnson to get back. He's the power pitcher our rotation needs right now.

No way Volstad gets a rotation spot next year. He's just getting into High A ball. No need to rush him. Maybe he's a September call-up. But '09 or '10 is his time.

There has been talk of Volstad getting called up later this year to start if we need him. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the 5th spot next year and Nolasco and/or Mitre get traded.

It's a shame there is a rain delay, because as far as debuts go I don't think you could ask for any better.
 
the turd blew another one

cut that fool already
 
One of the few poor personell decisions that Beinfest and co. have made... trading a good young arm who showed potential in Yusmero Petit for Julio...
 
this would be reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy bad loss
