Then, when Billygoat had nothing, they really lost any confidence, or tried too hard. Didn't help that the home ump called both Kent n' Martin out on balls, but evidentally they don't even grade these guys on balls n' strikes. Any Cub fan would tell ya that. I mean the balls I saw that idiot Ed Rapuano call strikes against Edmonds(the last week of the season) were really outrageous. Then, I saw him do it again. I don't remember when. Maybe in your last series? I don't like this Winters guy, but Rapuano is really bad. The guy calling Monday night's game called Utley out on a ball not even close to being a strike. I am certainly not ever gunna cry about anything bad happening to Kent, but that's a tough last at bat to have to end your career on. He would of whiffed on the next pitch, but he deserved to see another pitch. Seattle, Baltimore, or K.C. got any decent young pitchers we can unload Billingsley for? I want to send him to a s-h-i-t team in the other league. You can't keep a guy on your team that gave you no shot in 2 playoff games out of the 5 game series. There's no way. If he battled, and hung around down 3 runs into the 5th or 6th, then maybe. What he did was turn woman. If there's no undisclosed injury to help excuse it, then he must go. It's a results business. What are we supposed to do? Let him go 15-12 next year, and then leave him off the playoff roster? He has great stuff(LOL,) but he's a woman's private part. Can't keep him in that clubhouse. Sad thing is they probably will just bring him back as if nothing happened. He will have a decent year, and get raped again in the post. He only pitched good against the Cubs because we weren't suppose to be able to take the 1st two games in Chicago. The 2nd game there was house money for whatever Dodger started it. No pressure whatsoever. "Do the best not to get beat too badly" Then, when he was expected to have to go to war against Philly, he twice was a woman. That ain't gunna improve. Unless we are huge post season longshots, he is gunna be a woman in the post. That's just the way he is gunna be.

I'm pretty sure 29 other teams will be interested in acquiring Mr. Billingsley.
