I totally trust that he will. Right now he just looks lost. If he DOESN'T, then look for an established pitcher.

Period. Someone that can keep them in games and not blow out the bullpen by June. IMO. Whats up with all the drive-bys on here against SJ44 today? Whose Cheerios did he go 'wee-wee' in ?!?!? Easy, fellow fans. So much animosity and angst for a team at .500 after a crappy month-long schedule and a slew of injuries. Take a page from Rebecca's book. Ever the Optimist !!! :) “They also have to find a veteran starter somewhere. I’d call up Texas and ask for Millwood at this point.
