Dylan Floro will try to live up to the high expectations that come with donning Brian Matusz's George Mitterwald's #15.

Already exceeded them
Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

Wade Davis is the most amazing closer I have ever seen. He doesn't even break a sweat out there. Even the one time he seemed like he even had the possibility of blowing it, after Willson and Rizzo let that disaster happen in STL, he just yawned and took down Fat Adams like it was nothing. Cutter, Cutter, Cutter, let's go home boys.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Too bad he's being wasted on a team that can't seem to get it together. I'm not saying it's too late by any means, but it's frustrating to see them stumble along.

If Theo wanted to extend him, I'd be OK with it.

Oh I know, dude. They're 19-19 in May, to find a team that was .500 at this point in the season and made, say, a league Championship Series you'd have to go all of the way back to last year. To find a team that was 19-19 and managed to win the NLC a year after making it to the World Series you gotta go all of the way back to 2014 . To find a team that was .500 this late in the year (or even, like, a month and a half later) and made the world series you gotta go all of the way back to 2015.

Such a waste.

I did have the thought, last night, that choosing any time on this homestand for Davis to blow his first Save would be tough to swallow.  Hopefully they get on a roll on this homestand and when Davis does blow his first save--which will happen at some point-- that it'll be when they're 10 over and in first place.  I know the thought of "getting a blown save out of the way" is irrational, but so is investing our emotion in contests over. which we have no control so here we are.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Yeah he has to blow one eventually but I mean, it might just be one, and it might be months from now. The dude has an era of 1.09 going back to 2014. That's over 200 fucking games. Insane.

I'm okay with more than one so long as they happen after they've righted the ship.  Again--this not remotely rational-- but I'm concerned that he's been lights out while they've struggled as a team.  Had he contributed to their meh start I wouldn't be having these stupid thoughts.

Eddie Butler is the bullpen's best friend.  He represents full-time employment for them.

That inning was brutal but this is his second start, his first he threw six scoreless. Let's give him a few before we throw him into Brett Anderson's firebarn.

With his control you can trade him for Darvish so he can actually be Walker: Texas Ranger.
