What the hell did you expect?

That was the NL you say?

Or is that all forgotten by his half season in the NL?

The Ryan Dumpster, Roy Oswalts and the Anabal Sanchez of the National League never do well. Now there are a couple of exceptions to that rule. Especially if he’s named Carsten Charles “CC” Sabathia.

Paging Mr. Oswalt. Would you please pick up the bullpen phone. We have a call fro you from a Mr. Ronald Washington.

As good as Fister has been, the Twins have beat him twice this year.

I don’t think it’s even close.
