    I (and others) felt they could have fielded a competitive team without gutting it of most of it's talent.

    I didn't think this was necessary. I did understand the reasoning, I just disagreed with the approach.

    Hope some of these scouting decisions were right. What is the team ERA since 42-42, 6.00?

    No sugar coating it. This was the worst weekend of the season. Absolutely miserable.

    I doubt that given we'd have no money to add anyone.

    Some guys have performed their way out of contention: Viz, Grilli, Long John, Gomes. Anyone else is fair game.
    The competition was stiff. But Veal was pretty special.

    As bad as it's been, at least the Braves can say they haven't been no-hit twice in a month this season. So, there's something at least.

    That's two votes for Donnie. One for Cahill.

    Come on, no love for Nick Masset, Future Closer Juan Jaime, or Also David Carpenter?
