[/b][/quote]I don't know what your question has to do with my "whine", but yeah, that's pretty much sort of correct. If a hitter is, let's say, 10-20 with 5 homers lifetime against a pitcher at Coors field, and goes out and has a good day against that pitcher, I wouldn't say I was a "genius" for picking him, but study and research does pay off. On the other hand, same scenario, but the hitter goes 0-4 with no additional extraneous factors to consider (hitter in a slump, pitcher is hot, etc), it's certainly the hitter's fault, not my fault for picking him. Hope that answers your question... "Difficult....not impossible"

It's gonna do nothing but rain all day today, so it would have been a washout again. I haven't seen the sun for weeks. I think someone stole it.

Talk about some whining last night!! I have a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve - I have a history of taking off my shirt.....

Kotsay (on my team) not playing today. Good News... Kotsay comes up in the bottom of the 9th and proceeds to smack a walk-off single. 2 points is better than nothing, I guess.

You guys must be nuts OK, FS and SC at the bottom of the standings, so who knows what the hell they're thinking, but you too, JG?. I'm shocked 1) I don't care who's pitching, it's at Coors, for cryin' out loud. 2) Unless you're sure he's gonna pitch a CG, how horrible has the Arizona bullpen been? 3) If a trade goes down or is iminent, he may very well not pitch at all. 4) The game is at Coors, for cryin' out loud. True, it worked out last week for FS and Schmidt at Colorado, but still.... "Difficult....not impossible"
