I was going to write Hanson went six inning, two runs on three hits, and how it was a huge improvement, and that it has got to be good news considering his past performances ….
Then the hits/walks kept coming, one after another.
Come on Moylan!

Correction. starting a pitcher with a heartbeat really got this team off balance.
well damn now I’m impressed with the rockies pitcher last night…he pitched damn well for a guy without a heartbeat.
It was a day game but yes, he must have pitched well. I’m sure the lineup appreciated all the walks he gave up. This way we didn’t have to hit.

Two on base and one out Janish and Hanson up in 100 chances we would never score a run.Cant wait for the return of Simmons I know D.O.B and chip and Joe say Janish defense didnt matter if he hit or not but hell when you had McCann and Uggla in front of him thats four out in a row.

I’m not referring to other guys there though. Talking about Hanson and Hanson at 89-90 and a curve with no command isn’t one I’d want to “run out there”

Big difference in you telling Ms Tiger you were at the library when you were out drinking, than FW telling a talk show that Pastornicky was not ready (then telling another he was ready later).
Like VJ states, I think ALL GM’s should be required to divulge everything that is on their minds constantly.

“I tend to not necessarily believe what they tell me”
I should hope not. I think anyone who believes what MLB executives (or corporate executives/politicians/etc.) say in the press is naive.
(Did I use naive right? I don’t throw it around often.)

DS1 – I understand the difference (its why I said calling it a lie may be a bit harsh) but at the end of the day regardless of if it is dis-information or consistently changing ones mind it ends up with the same result for me – close consideration if the individual is telling me the truth (no different than government-not meant to drag it political)
