My God.  Thursday afternoon, after 4:30, the whole staff has gone home for the day.  Now I have to call each one of them and do a tele-round table.  Whatever it takes.

Yo Illya, talk to me Buddy, what is up with Rolen? Is he ever coming back to GABP?

Let's see what's Russell's number......there it is. One ringy dingy, two ringy dingies. Hello Russ, Cliff here at the Clubhouse, I have had some problems and couldn't make it on time. Sorry.

To the point, I was watching a game the other night and Votto started having problems again. What I want to know is who the Barker guy was that took his place. How the hell did he get in here?

Well we seem to keep going backwards. Win one and lose eight, that won't get it kids. I guess they are going to force us to get rid of the whole pile of them.

We were beating Lincecum like a drum and then the wheels fell off. Lost that one. Then the losing-est man with the most money pitches a shutout (well he didn't go all the way) against us.  We are now the worst hitting team in the league.

Arroyo pitched good and got bested again. After the first inning. the only man in the lineup from opening day was Brandon Phillips.  What does that tell you?  The DL blues, that's what we got, gentlemen.

Well let's see what the rest of you have to say.

Thanks again for weighing in.
