Rotation set

[tzill]

Sabes on KNBR this morning:

1. Timmah
2. Chez
3. Cainer
4. Zeets
5. Bum

Interesting....I guess it's deferential to Zeets, even though he didn't make the post season roster.

Also, it makes it easier to limit/manage Bum's innings. Not a problem with Zito.

All this talk about having the best rotation in baseball, and we still end up having a bum as our #5

Well, it beats having your entire team be a bunch of bums:

When Robinson retired in 1931, he was replaced as manager by Max Carey.[12] Although some suggested renaming the "Robins" the "Brooklyn Canaries", after Carey (whose last name was originally "Carnarius"), the name "Brooklyn Dodgers" returned to stay following Robinson's retirement.[12] It was during this era that Willard Mullin, a noted sports cartoonist, fixed the Brooklyn team with the lovable nickname of "Dem Bums". After hearing his cab driver ask "So how did those bums do today?" Mullin decided to sketch an exaggerated version of famed circus clown Emmett Kelly to represent the Dodgers in his much-praised cartoons in the New York World-Telegram. Both the image and the nickname caught on, so much so that many a Dodger yearbook cover, from 1951 through 1957, featured a Willard Mullin illustration with the Brooklyn Bum.

Nice one.

I like this rotation. Would have been yet another slap in Zito's face to be the team's 5th starter.
