Is it too soon to start the Firebarn Dan Haren's limp-waisted, homer-tossing ass yet thread?

Is it too soon to start the Firebarn Dan Haren's limp-waisted, homer-tossing ass yet thread?

I think it depends on whether you really expected Dan Haren to be anything other than a guy you hope can go 5-6 innings and give up 3 runs or less. If you expected more than that, sure. Not sure why you would would have, though

I think it depends on whether you really expected Dan Haren David Ross to be anything other than a guy you hope can go 5-6 innings get the odd meaningful hit and give up 3 runs or less play good defense. If you expected more than that, sure. Not sure why you would would have, though

Oh I forgot the part where the Cubs traded away a better starting pitcher to Seattle for absolutely nothing to make room on the roster for Dan Haren

Leave Dan's waist out of this. It's his metabolism!

And I forgot the part where David Ross had anything to do with that.

And for the last time when did we stop being mad at the bad players for being on the roster? I don't remember anyone hating Neifi any less because it wasn't "his fault" he was starting.

You mean, like Dan Haren?  I'm sure even you can see my point here.

I missed the part where the expectation was that the Cubs should have 25 Hall of Famers.

Hey if your point was that they're welcome to start a Dan Haren firebarn, I agree. This is America.  Fire what barns you will.

If your point was to call me a hypocrite for wanting Ross firebarned and not Haren, then you are wrong. I'm not upset that David Ross turned out to be a light hitting backup catcher.  I am and always have been mad that they knew what David Ross was and decided they needed that more than Welington Castillo. I stand by it.

[SKO]

DPD. Let's not derail the good feelings thread by bitching that the fifth starter is mediocre like all fifth starters and having the David Ross talk again.

Jorge hit a homer today. Hopefully the first of many!
