Deesens Nuts

I've seen your kind before you're not original
Just a sick mixed up individual...


The home town nine played one of their stranger games last night, as scrap heap pick up Elmer Deesens pitched a stout first half off the game, allowing just two runs for most of it. Then a crazy 5th inning saw Elmer Fudd get through two outs before serving up a 3 run HR. The usually reliable Jeremy Affeldt then went Byun on his team, providing a niiiiiiiiiice nine run inning. All with two out.

Somehow Petco was turned into Coors last night with the ridiculous 11-9 final. A 1-2 San Diego portion of the West Siiiiiiide trip is unimpressive, but can be tempered with a series win in LA. The Rox are nearly doing it with smoke and mirrors now, as rookies, wire pickups, and veterans are combining to form a ramsackle pitching staff. Harrakala, Deesens, Ramon Ortiz, and super rookie Franklin Morales are all part of the equation. Elmer's Glue anyone?

    He's the future of the franchise, but he's raw right now. We'll see how he does in LA for his first start.

    I'm just here to drop knowledge to the masses Skyler.
