If it goes 5, Gio won't be able to start again until Game 3 of the NLCS on the following Wednesday. E-Jax is probably your Game 2 starter on regular rest. If we can take this series in 4 games, Davey can go back to the NLDS rotation if he wants.Section 222https://www.blogger.com/profile/17106128453333996193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-41422296556876345692012-10-09T19:03:44.272-04:002012-10-09T19:03:44.272-04:00Regarding the Section 312 meet-up for our imaginar...Regarding the Section 312 meet-up for our imaginary friends at noonish Wednesday, Post of the Day candidate goes to Feel Wood for this gem:<br /><br /> Feel Wood said... <br /><br />Just pick the most dysfunctional looking family and you'll have no problems.<br /><br /><br />October 09, 2012 5:19 PM <br /><br />I'll be the most dysfunctional-looking tall guy with a straw hat, the one with the bottle of Maalox hanging out of his back pocket.

"The...I love this guy, and I love this quote:<br /><br />"The thing about postseason baseball is, the game can speed up real quick," he said. "You have to kind of control the pace and control the tempo. And having experience in that, it definitely helps when you get in those situations, being able to slow the game down and kind of take the crowd out of the equation and just think about concentrating on what you have to do."<br /><br />Don't worry for a second about the crowd, EJax. We are ALL in your corner. You're a big-game guy, and this is a big-game situation. He's going to do fine. We'll take care of the crowd noise, don't you worry about that.<br /><br />Soaking the throat with herbal tea and lemon tonight.<br />Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778638700744221971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-18441057490271006192012-10-09T18:52:18.506-04:002012-10-09T18:52:18.506-04:00If Edwin doesn't do well, we will end up with ...If Edwin doesn't do well, we will end up with an E-Ject!

Although if we do get into the NLCS it will clearly be against the Reds, and EJax did pitch at least OK against them in Cincy on May 13: 5 IP, 5H, 3R, 0BB, 4K -- though he did give up TWO solo dingers to Mr. Votto.
