Yeah, pretty much. Hopefully Hammel can pitch 7-8 innings and lift the weight off the bullpen's shoulders.

Dan, please ...... What exactly is worrying about it going to do ??? We also might get crushed by a score of 13-3 tomorrow, but I'm not really concerned about that right now. We just won a marathon game, and we still have enough bullpen arms to go at least another 3 or 4 more innings tomorrow. Jeez.

Nah, it's all good, buddy. I was just conversatin'. I think it stems from my desire to rid the roster of Kevin Gregg.

But I'm with you! Great win, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it, don't you worry.

Also, for the record, I hope we keep Exposito on the roster if possible. He's intriguing.

And I'm with you 100 percent on that.

The bullpen is OK now, but forcing our guys to continue to cover for him will almost undoubtedly take its toll on them long-term.

Kudos to Buck for not going with Gregg at all, even with a 6-run lead against the Yankees, and even with tonight's marathon game. As far as I'm concerned, Buck is showing a lot of cajones toward Angelos and Duquette right now by completely ignoring Gregg. If they (PA and DD) are both annoyed at Buck's handling of the situation, good. Buck was hired to manage the team, not give out band-aids.

And can PA and DD argue with the results? Absolutely not.
