wonder how long Dusty will play Gomes until he figures out he’s not the answer. Gomes should play against leftys only. *shakes head*
It’ll probably take just as long as it took for him to leave Stubbs in last year, then Stubbs had a great end of the season. Sometimes you’re right and sometimes you’re wrong. Dusty is right most of the time. At least the last two years.

I hope Arredondo does well. I’d like to see him get back to the majors. Will there be another Matt Holliday sort of leftfileder out there when it comes time to think about trades (late June and on)? Maybe that’s the answer.
