Washington Nationals at San Francisco Giants, Jul 23, 2008 7:15 PM PDT
There are statistically even match-ups, and then there are statistically even match-ups. Small sample sizes be damned, this is as close as they get.

Do well Kevin!
I’m predicting he goes 6 innings, 2 earned runs, 7 H’s, 6 K’s, 3 BB’s.
Just call me Xiefrank.

I blame Bochy for not implementing this strategy earlier.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

bochy said yesterday that Omar would be a bench player the rest of the season. Funny how he’s started both games since he’s said that.
by superk1ng on Jul 23, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That’s what drives me crazy, they said about a month ago that he would see less playing time.
by xanthan on Jul 23, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was actually that he would be a bench player after next week (i.e., after the non-waiver trade deadline).
So check back Aug 1 to see who’s starting.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

but HOW will Omar EVER break out of this career-worst slump if we just bench him?!
by ExcuseMeSwing on Jul 23, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Seriously
Why are we waiting til next week to reduce Omar’s playing time? It’s not like he is going to increase his trade value in a week.

Instead of releasing him, why doesn’t he get injured … and then they keep him on as an instructional type coach? They were saying that the team now takes infield regularly, I bet he’d make a great coach.

Also it’s really refreshing to hear a parent say that. Everyone’s used to me saying “bleh babies” cos I don’t want ‘em, but when a parent can say, “yeah guys knock it off your baby is not cute” that makes me happy.
