There, there Leo, don’t cry. It’s almost over.
Just four more weeks, and I’ll officially clinch the Rotisserie Chicken league title, and the bucket of KFC that comes with it. Original recipe, please.
However, I suspect it won’t be as easy finishing you off as it has been knocking you flat on your back, and not just because you’re taking on water faster than Ozzie Guillen on a gay Pride Parade float.
First of all, you’ve got Derrek Lee back, which means Phil Nevin is back on the bench, so I had to drop him. And ifNevin does play some in left field, that means Bird Brain Matt Murton won’t be getting any playing time.
If the veteran with no future takes away at-bats from the promising young hitter, Jim Hendry should run, not walk, to fire Dusty.
Sorry if I’m getting a little bossy. That tends to happen when you’re in first place. I’ll tell you what it’s like sometime.
