And if that happens, I hope scoreboard operations at the Cell, pipes in turkey sounds when he enters the game (like Shingo's gong).

Well, I was talking about Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham is very nice.

OK, maybe I got a little touchy about it......

I think Clayton might need to watch it. Wouldn't surprise me if we see Gobble up in the near future.

Gobble might actually be effective if used correctly. While he had a painful ERA last year, lefties actually only hit .200 against him and his K/BB ratio was 4.5. The Royals kept trotting him out against righties, but Ozzie loves playing matchups and likely wouldn't make the same mistake.

Other than McDougal and his 2 replacements, our pen has been very good. Clayton has had two bad outings in a row, but he has been generally dependable ytd.
