Silence two minutes into manager’s pregame session and Sveum goes: “So, how’s your guys’ fantasy teams? Want me to ask the questions?”

[El Duderino]

Looks like Rizzo has raised his hands a bit.

[UMFan83]

Who is expected to take Sharks rotation spot for the rest of the season? The rotation is what Wood, Raley, Germano, Volstad and whoever replaces Shark. Wow what a rotation.

Jason Berken. And Raley has been shut down, it's Rusin instead of him. Although they're basically the same pitcher anyway.

I'm surprised Rusin isn't at his innings limit yet. He's at 154.1 and Raley was at 155 when he was shut down.

Could be the age difference.

[Guest]

Volstad's ERA is under 6 after a start for the first time since his second start of the year.

[El Duderino]

This might be the game of the year based on the crowd alone. Hilarious.

[Cubswin11]

We really need to start trying out that whole losing thing again. I don't want to be drafting higher than #2
