    He looked very good. Considering he was brought into a game with the Royals already trailing 7-1, it appears they are going to ease him in with mop up duty. I'm pretty sure at this point he's as good as gone. I wouldn't be so sure. There's 157 games to go and he has to stay on the roster for all of them. While he looked good tonight, he may not the next time he's used. Yeah, but they don't give a crap if he pitches effectively for them because their team sucks. Derrick Turnbow sucked as a Rule V pick. Miguel Asencio was bad for the Royals in '02 but they didn't care because they thought he had potential. Johan Santana winning the Cy Young gives even more incentive for crappy teams to hang onto high-ceiling players for their Rule V year. I said it when the draft went down, Sisco would be gone. Thank God we have Rohlicek and Randolph, though. Who let Santana go unprotected? The Astros... everyone point and laugh at them. BTW his stats from his first year w/them: W L G GS CG SHO GF SV IP H R ER HR BB SO HBP WP ERA ERA+ 2 3 30 5 0 0 9 0 86.0 102 64 62 11 54 64 2 5 6.49 81 Obviously pretty bad stats. But they hung onto him the whole year b/c he had a lot of potential, which turned out to be a rather good move.

    I second this as being a terrible managerial decision.

    Yeah, last season they were also confident that Wood and Prior wouldn't miss much time. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Does Philly still have one? If so, when was the last time they won a nba championship? Who knows. Last I heard they had some dude named Eyeversin, but I don't know much about them though. What's this NBA business I've been hearing about, anyway?

    Chicago still has a basketball team???

    But Sally Struthers tells me that for just 73 cents a day, I can feed a child in Africa. So many choices, so little money :( Yeah, but from the looks of it your seventy-three cents is just going to buy Sally another bon-bon. LOL, apparently you caught that South Park episode? Even before I saw that, I always felt like it was a pretty poor choice to have an obese American woman asking people to give money so that starving kids in Africa can eat.
