Rowand may get some starts vs lefties because that's how they roll. At Belt's expense.

Wishful thinking, I know, but I hope Belt goes on a rampage. This team needs a kick in the ass, and I hope he's the one to do it.

The big question, and I have been wearing the blinders on this so far...

Is Beltran WILLING to play anywhere but RF?

He comes over and reportedly will only play RF. He is hurt, but able to swing right handed, but refuses because "I am a switch hitter. That is not who I am."

I am willing to refrain from the hating for a while, but the seeds have been planted.

IIRC, at the time of the trade, Beltran said he'd be open to "filling in" in CF. He did not want to play LF.

The shame of it is, Zito seems like a really nice guy too. Flaky, but a good guy, and really solid on his charitable side. I've always rooted for that guy and I feel bad that 'The Contract' has destroyed his rep and maybe even his talent.

Thing I don’t like about Zito and this is based entirely on The Franchise which may be unfair – is he seems to lack any passion for Baseball and fire in the belly to compete. It just really irked me as I watched him ponce about on that show while being a tremendous burden on this club .

True, but if we don't manage to stay close, like within 3, even they may not be enough. If we're down 4 when we play them, and go 4-2, we still have a hole to climb out of and no more head to head games.

I'm feeling a little intestinal distress lately after yesterday...the offense is almost as healthy as its going to be, and they still sucked, against the worst team in the league, at home, vs Sosa (!). Beltran is looking like a total bust esp for what we gave up (if we make the playoffs it's fine, but if we don't?...)

They say 1 game doesn't matter, but as you get closer to the end each game matters more and more. We are running out of runway here...

And that's your pantshat of the day from msgkings. Sorry, but I'm getting to that point.

We all feel a little antsy at this point; even Krukow was negative this morning. But, there's a big difference between feeling negative on August 26 and pants shitting in June. NN/Crosstown/Harbaugh/Mozart/Sisyphus never has grasped that.

Or Marcus either.
