If I didn't know better, I'd say this was Joe Torre's idea of April Fools' humor.
I started a joke
That started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if only I'd seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
running my hands over my eyes
and I fell out of bed
hurting my head from the things that I said
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if only I'd seen
That the joke was on me

I just like how the html bullets don't translate into the quoted title.
Crazy ole html
"&bull" really is perfect.
Because I'm running around the office yelling, "Bull! And, bull!"
Sigh. Just yesterday, I was thinking to myself, what the hell are we going to do with the OutWatch if Juan is going to be a bench player?
Well, we have our answer.
The OutWatch, unfortunately, is alive and well.
I don't have the energy for a full post, so let me just comment that
last night turned into a draw, with Juan Pierre replaced by Matt Kemp when they switched to a lefty with the bases loaded. Sadly, Kemp struck out.
To sum it up, Kemp went 0-2 as did Pierre. So for last night at least, it was a draw. I am happy to see that Torre has the sense to bat Pierre 7th.
On a more positive note, Ethier went 3-5 with a double, so his sweet swing has in fact carried over from spring training.
