Ok, don’t release him, just reassign him to a situational lefty spot…where is Mahay when you need him?
And I still think he is someone who classifies as a head case, ball flipper, and your latest comments make me think “uncoachable”…..no matter I don’t trust him……

No “He Went To Paris” or “Nautical Wheelers”

Does CJ have options left? Maybe a side trip to OKC would do him some good, get his head straight and on with the good.

I blame the Tiger series on the equipment mgr. No need to put up a sign declaring ‘no red’ on the road. Bring back the red this week and the w’s will follow.

Add “Miss you so badly” on your main set list and “Lovely cruise” to the list somewhere.

Here’s to the thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning-

Guess when Evan finds out which players are getting divorced, he’s going to let us all know about it as soon as they blow a hold or strike out three times in a game. Distractions, you know!

The tweeting is all about perception. To paraphrase Bull Durham, when you can consistently get 3 outs, you can be as socially networked as you want. Until then, you’re just distracted.

Evan,
So if Eyre is in the bullpen, what happens to Nippert when he is ready?

Trip Around the Sun? I could think of fifty songs I’d rather him sing, including Brown Eyed Girl or the Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful.

Or both!

Fill it up with good red wine….

Oh, and CJ is more of a BJ than anything else.

Unless C.J. is twittering during a game, I don’t care what he posted. I don’t see how his online activity has an effect on his performance on the mound.

And I agree with Section 339 — we’re six games in. It’s way too early to talk about releasing, firing or DFAing anyone.

“Releasing C.J. Wilson would be akin to putting Doug Davis on waivers all those years ago: You’d be giving away a serviceable left-handed pitcher.”

And there Evan we must agree to disagree.

Your own statements damns your own position.

“You talk to folks around the club and the one thing you do get about Wilson that is somewhat disconcerting is that he doesn’t listen to many people.”

This club has trended downward for six games. I believe this club is on the verge of threepeat (Is that a word?)of their now traditional April swan dive.

Releasing Wilson and sending Madrigal down sends a message and costs nothing. Neither was reliable in 2008 and their current ERA’s are stronomical. They will only cost more games in 2009.

If this doesn’t turn around pronto; well at least we can all spend a great deal of time discussing the new manager………
