Don't care how cliche it is, Campana's speed makes things happen

[Guest]

Today is a day where I don't give a [expletive] how long our starting pitcher goes.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So does LaHair's awesomeness.

If there was a way to fuse them into 1 player and make them 22-23 years old we'd have a top 10 prospect our hands.

Lopez is one one of those guys who you prefer get rocked because every time he has a decent outing, it brings us closer to the possibility of him being in rotation next year. All I know if he's in next years rotation with Cashner in the pen, well, that won't be cool.

If our new General Manager is so befuddled that he even considers keeping Lopez in the rotation based on him having a career year in 2011....... well.... then all is lost anyway, eh?

OK, now you're just making up things to worry about.

I doubt Lopez is much of an option for 2012.
