Me personally. I have no doubt in my mind that Dusty wants me dead. That is why he is trying to kill me with this lineup:

Macias CF
Walker 2B
Lee 1B
Burnitz RF
Ramirez 3B
Hollandsworth LF
Cedeno SS
Blanco C
Zambrano P

Macias? Hollandsworth? GAH!

What does Matt Murton have to do to earn a start? Save a nun from a burning building?

No, of course not, that is just silly. All he has to do is play another 9 years at the major league level. He doesn't have to play well, mind you, just play.

What has Murton done to un-earn his playing time? Well, he went 4-5 on the 17th of July. He then managed 5 AB's over the next 7 days. Yesterday he went 3-4 and today he is on the bench.

What does he have to do to earn a start against a righty?!?

Hollandsworth? Over those same last 7 days has managed a .105 BA. He's hitting a solid .220 in July.

Awesome.

Macias? That doesn't even bother me. That is the typical insanity that you get with Dusty. No biggie. But his treatment of Murton has been criminal and detrimental to the team. For a full-out diatribe against Dusty, take a look over at GROTA.
