Dodgers KTE

First game Zambrano against Jeff Weaver
I go for Z, but neither's a Seaver.

Then Pedro counters D. J. Houlton,
His body's large, his stats revoltin'.

Brad Penny offers no surprises,
He wears down as his pitch count rises.

The closer's Yhency Brazoban,
He ain't no Eric Gagne, man.


Phillips is slumping. Even on track
The Mets aren't likely to want him back.

Hee-Sop Choi's got style and verve,
Too bad he can't hit the curve.

As for Jeff Kent, his stats are strong,
But no team keeps him around for long.

Mike Edwards may have what it takes,
But put him down for some rookie mistakes.

A decent season for Izturis,
Look for our guys to give him tsuris.

Jayson Werth is 6 foot 5,
Doesn't get too many balls to drive.

For center, J. D. Drew is sitting,
From Jason Repko, little hitting.

Who else? Robles? Rick Ledee?
Do we believe these guys can play?

Dodgers are slumping; meanwhile, speaking
Relatively, Mets are streaking.

They're far away from Chavez Valley.
We'll never forgive the snake O'Malley.

Great job, nice change of pace, now can you please put the probable pitchers to verse?,

That was them. Z vs Weaver, Pedro vs Houlton, Benson vs Penny.

Excellent. I actually was starting this one before realizing I actually had the next Dodger series, and I turned my bat over to the Old Mole -- reliable vet.

Sunday's a big game --- first career game for Alex Wolf.

There are no dog days, no garbage games, or playing out the string. Virtually every game is someone's first or someone's last. Welcome to the magic, Alex Wolf.

That's a Know Thy Allies essay for Alex.

Penny was suspended five games for something or other. Is he appealing? Does that affect his start this weekend?

Q: Is Brad Penny appealing?

A: Rarely

He's listed as starting -- I was wondering about that too. Couldn't find the dates of his suspension, so I guess it must be up.

Excellent KTE thread. A classic work from the Old Mole.
