The Rockies are probably playing some guys, too. Franklin Morales will take the mound for them. I think Vinny Castilla, Dante Bichette, and Big Cat will take the field. I guess Mike Hampton must be coming out of the pen. Watch out for Juan Pierre on the basepaths. He's a burner.

McCullough's got a couple Moore quotes of note in his feed to chew on. I wish Moore would just shut the fuck up. No one wants to hear this drivel, Dayton.

Dayton Moore: "We've got to start winning games 2-1 and 3-1 and 2-0. The defense is going to be a major part of that."

Moore: "Anyone want to talk about our bullpen? Or talk about our starting pitching? Is there anything good about this team right now?"

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: #anustart

Who else basically resents having to watch the Royals? I know I sure as hell do. The only thing I enjoy at this point is watching Ventura pitch.
