So far, I'm not impressed with Leone. He has cracked under pressure so far.

I had to drop Leone off my fantasy team where I had him. It's pretty clear he's not the closer this year. Any chance Norris may end up being the man? I grabbed him in my other league, but picked up Morrow of the Cubs for Leone, picking up Norris, who qualifies as SP/RP and put him in as SP in the second league I am in. Dropped a Red Sox fifth starter who is a middle reliever now.
Another two hit game for Ozuna and a hit for DeJong, but not going well right now. Both hitting over .300 but it's lonely on that over .300 list right now after them.

Aha!! Another hit my DeJong and Fowler, tied it up in the bottom of the 9th! I do not have it on my tv, only following on my computer, and no hockey or baseball on here in Boston tonight, so what else am I going to do? Brewers hitting .290 in the game, Cardinals .250, 12 LOB for each team. Extra innings here we come.

Ozuna, expected to bat in the botton of the 10th. Sounds promising...

Greg Holland is to blame for this one, and Norris played mop up once the Brewers took the lead. Not good...I think he's pitched like a closer so far. He had the only save...sigh.

Cardinals are 0-2 with the 6-2 defeat to the Mets. Cardinals hitters have struck out 27 times over the course of the first 2 games. Why is John Mabry still around?

Leone another bad outing Cards Lose Leone has provided another legitimate reason why he does not belong in Major League Baseball. Whatever it takes to assign Leone to the minor leagues or release him outright is exactly what it takes to get rid of him in order to win now and later.

Walking the Brewers to lose the game for the Cardinals is a retarded idea discourtesy of Greg Holland. Awards: - Chippendale Award: Lewd and lascivious acts
- Oh/Rosenthal Award: Cannot pitch balls

A team that is serious about winning will score more than one run when they have the bases loaded with no outs in the 9th while trailing by one run.

I know Norris is an unproven closer, but anyone else agree? He needs to get the chances for now until someone else is pitching well enough. This is pretty ugly so far other than Norris in the pen.

Norris has not done anything wrong yet. At the present, Leone and Holland are riding the short bus to Memphis, or will be seeking to continue their careers in the major leagues elsewhere.

That is a question that all of the baseball writers need to ask Mozeliak and Girsch if Mozeliak and Girsch are brave enough to appear at a press conference.

Nice to see Jose Martinez back in the lineup so soon after the injury.
