I TOLD you all we shoulda traded for Lowell

Only kidding. Actually, I had just gone done told the TV that Guthrie should pitch right at Lowell, since his timing was off. He can't hit. So, that should give you an indicator as to what kind of manager I would make.

And yes, yes, I saw it. I saw Swollen Sam belt a clutch dong. I know, it was incredible. My wife just kept saying "Oh, my God...Oh, my God" over and over again, and no, it had nothing to do with me.

I guess Zambrano is still too young for this playoff business. Staked with a four run lead, I have never seen anyone blow a lead that fast. Well, at least since the Monday night Tampa Bay-Indy game. It was not characteristic of him to give up the back-to-back jacks, either. His main function in life is to keep the ball down, so what the hell happened? Yep, the fast guys drove us crazy, too. Everything I was afraid was going to happen did. Pudge is earning all of his salary this month.

So, once again, we put all of our chips on 22-Blue. Is he gonna shut down the 9-run offensive explosion? Is he gonna keep Pierre and Castillo off base? Is he gonna keep Pudge and Cabrera in the park? Are we going to have to ride the back of a 23 year old for the rest of the year? How long is he going to hold up?

For, if he wins both of his starts, we need to realize just how rare this has all been.
