I would say the law of averages will eventually even things up! Besides they are playing the B team today!

Is that true, too? Not if the catcher drops the ball and the batter runs to first. Hey to Mickey Owen. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941_World_Series> -- Remove blown from email address to reply.

I would say the law of averages will eventually even things up! > Besides they are playing the B team today! Obviously they keep him, he's been fantastic. Actually, the rotation they have now makes it almost impossible for Harang to return as a starter - who can you replace and make the team better? And Homer might as well pack his bags, I can't see any circumstance in which the Reds need him in the rotation again. Now that I've said it, watch the Reds bust Wood back down to make room for Harang...
