embarrassment to the board? Wow. I didn't know just because a nice, personable guy from Houston joins the pitching staff we're supposed to support him even if he goes 4-12 this year. The bottom line is winning a World Series. If he can get his act together and get some quality starts going, and help us achieve that goal, I'm all for it. But when we're putting hometown boys on the mound for pure sentiment no matter the result, well that's when it becomes a little ridiculous.
