he's doing everything exactly by the book.

That is what I think. I think also that Cooper has to concern himself with a pitcher's ego. While it may not seem right to an outsider it is something that can help or hurt a team. You can't write Cooper off yet. The season is young, and he has no closer.
Let us hope he takes one out of Larry Dierker's playbook and manages the team like he has no ace and no closer.

Well, we are seeing how bad our rotation is.

SAmpson IS NOT a major league pitcher.
Backe is a number 4 pitcher at best.


I believe we only have 2 starters, Oswalt and Wandy.

Bullpen? Only Brocail. Valverde should help later on.


The pitching staff is AWFUL, no way we are doing much this year.
