(If Rizzo doesn't get rid of him, we can at least make the most of the situational comedy).<br />4. GREAT DRAFT!!!!!!!<br />5. Zimmerman's almost back. If its me at GM, I let Zimmerman recuperate at 1st base and put Morse at 3rd/OF. It was just painful to watch them intentionally walk Werth with runners on 2nd/3rd to get to easy out Ankiel.

I really thought we got rid of this joker last year, but I guess I had him mixed up with Scott Olsen. There is a pool of pitchers that I lump together and get mixed up due to general mediocrity: Stammen, Olsen, Mock, Chico, Detwiler. Seeing those names year after year makes me feel like we're making little progress. <br /><br />We can beat the Giants. That's what makes the loss so frustrating.Ernienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-36202644609340819102011-06-07T08:43:41.687-04:002011-06-07T08:43:41.687-04:00No brainer here Henry Rodriguez is not a major lea...No brainer here Henry Rodriguez is not a major league pitcher.

Oh well.<br /><br />Was hoping that this Craig Stammen opportunity would be different. <br /><br />Werth, Nix, Pudge, and Ankiel all came up with opportunities all game long and did nothing.
