Just checked the score. Almost as good as having sex after abstaining for weeks .........

Ummm, no. We must differ on the relative importance of GT baseball and sex. Ahem.

To be fair to CDH (and I have clearly lost patience with him this season), it is hard to put a kid out there who is struggling when you are doing your best to stop a long losing streak and try to rebuild a little confidence in a team that is clearly on the verge of losing it (if it hasn't already). I would put guys like King and Hughes into games where we're behind 8-1, but not last night's game. And I think it's more important to try to get Hughes going than King, since Hughes will have another year with us...

I agree completely.

I hope CDH puts Hughes on the mound as a reliever some time soon to see if he can turn it around. I hate seeing talented arms in the doghouse and not getting a chance---I'm not saying to just leave him out there if he's struggling, but a kid has to get some mound time in a game assuming he's working hard in practice and not looking too bad. It's a very mental game...

I agree with giving Hughes another chance if his bullpen work warrants it, but only then. I'd hope a four pitch walk or HBP to the first batter would get him pulled like Hall did to someone else the other day. Same situation for Gooden. I hope that when English comes back we don't see the same thing.

I kind of hope that Hall just uses English as closer next year if he is fully recovered.
