Mike Young is so good it's not fair.

All I can say is thank God it's May. Maybe my luck will turn. Don't have any starts today and was almost desperate enough to spot start James McDonald because the Padres step to bat with wiffle ball bats I think. I'll be patient, though. Clayton Richard gets the Pirates later this week @ Petco and the real interesting one I'm looking at is Josh Tomlin @ Oakland, who I'm not really sure how he's doing it...

I'm starting McDonald today against the Padres. They are that bad (although they will probably score 8 today). I'm even considering Karstens tomorrow. Against the Padres in PetCo? Almost anyone is worthy of starting.

I'm rolling with Karstens tomorrow.

If the line was a little closer I'd consider McDonald. He's a +125 underdog, with the silver lining being that there's -120 on Under 7 Total Runs. However, as I said previously, the possibility for absolute implosion is too great for my taste. I'll check the same things for Karstens tomorrow (though he faces Latos, who is 0 - 4 and has to get a Win eventually, right? ).

For the week I'm looking at Spot Start candidates in: Clayton Richard vs Pit Weds, Josh Tomlin @ Oak Weds, Phil Humber @ Sea Thurs, Freddy Garcia @ Det Weds, Chris Capuano vs SF Weds...

Is it just me, or does it seem like there has been a ridiculously high number of rainouts already this season?

also Fatolo Colon gets to show a national audience if hes for real tonight vs Det on ESPN.
I might have to flip over from the Giants game a few times to see him in action.

Surprised nobody is talking about Osama.

Surprised nobody is talking about Osama.

There's a big thread in General Talk.

Poor Chris Volstad isn't prepared for the hit parade that Big Berk and Holliday are going to put on tonight.
