we could just start getting in fights every 5 days or so....

get a starter suspended…and then just go with a 4 man rotation or something….depending on who is currently suspended….might make the rest of the season fun

question:

by powderbluepower on Aug 13, 2008 9:30 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

He performs pretty good for about 4-5 innings

but that 3rd time thru is always a absolute killer for him.
