Its time to end the "Ramon Ortiz as 5th starter" experiment. He's been the only pitcher in the last 10 games not to have a quality start (2 times in a row now). Since we know Joe Torre does not want to use Monasterios as the 5th starter, why don't we let Jeff Weaver get a chance to be the 5th starter and let Ramon Ortiz be the long relief pitcher? Or how about DFA'ing Ortiz and bringing Charlie Haegar back for another chance. All I know is that I better not see Ortiz taking the mound in the 1st inning on May 29th, the next time the Dodgers need a 5th starter.

Also, I think its time for Ramon Troncoso to come up with some phantom injury to keep Torre from ruining his right arm. He can use our own "Jump To An Injury Mat" *patent pending
