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

As I'm writing this, John Ely has somehow outdueled Dan Haren and is currently leading 4-1 in the 7th innning. I was already writing this game off as a loss and John Ely has somehow provided a miracle. He's only allowed 2 ER in his last 18 innings and the Dodgers have somehow gotten 3 quality starts in a row from their starting pitchers.*

Hey, Bill Plaschke, I dont wanna see anymore of your terrible "ace" articles. We have St. Ely!

*I know Bills technically didn't get a quality start last night, but I think he would have made it out of the 6th if Joe Torre would have let him so I'm counting it.

Whenever you're stuck in a bind and need an injury use our "Jump to an Injury" mat and choose your ailment. Joe Torre has already purchased one and used it for Charlie Haegar.

...to stop me from posting it.

Please fire Rick Honeycutt ASAP!
