Though frankly, this makes so many people so mad you'd think he'd hear it.

How is Sims supposed to hear TV viewers? Maybe if he could he’d’a shut up.

Pretty good, reminds me of Simmons's style of writing. I like the Kurosawa reference. One slight objection: "If your audience hurls things at the television and screams, 'Shut up, shut up, shut up!' maybe you should shut up." How is Sims supposed to hear TV viewers? Maybe if he could he'd'a shut up. Also, Felix apparently had two walks, not one. Otherwise, congrats to DMZ for apparently being *this* close to making it to the big time--a regular gig on a major Internet sports site (not that USSM isn't major, of course.)

I read the latter first; he refers to "Mike Hargrove's penchant for blowing out young arms". WTH? Did this actually occur, at all? Seems to me that Hargrove has actually been relatively safety-conscious in this aspect. Seems to me the injuries to pitchers that have occurred under his watch have been freak happenings, not anywhere near due to overuse.

What does this do to the rest of the rotation? I ask for purely selfish reasons: I live in LA and I want to see Felix pitch. If they hold to the rotation he won't pitch in LA next weekend at all. Is there any hope? Can they skip Weaver's start? It's not like it would hurt him or the team. So, I see Washburn is set to face Millwood now that today’s game was postponed.

Or to put it another way, we're 10 games into the season with a record of 3-2. Bizzare. So let’s see, we’ve played 5 games now and not played 5 games.
