PEOPLE GET READY.
Any other joke I would make would likely offend someone. And I don’t want to offend anyone.
I just don’t ever want to see Julio Franco called as the PH at the top of the 9th when we’re behind and have runners in scoring position ever, ever again.
That might make me belie--
nevermind.
On a serious note, what I said to TBF last night about Rick Downs’ dismissal and Rickey’s elevation, is that Omar can’t buy anyone or anything right now, so they’ve got to get creative if they want someone or something to make an impact in the second half. Omar isn’t going to do something stupid (e.g., 99.9% of the trades suggested on your local sports talk radio show), so he’s going to get creative.
They’re getting sufficiently creative for me.

Releasing Franco and keeping Alomar as a 3rd catcher allows Castro to be a RH PH off of the bench. Also, we signed Marlon Anderson to a minor league contract and Lastings Milledge will be starting in LF tonight. All little moves, but every little bit helps (I hope).
