Mad over Max Scherzer

I followed the plight of Max Scherzer on yahoo prior to the Arizona Diamondbacks calling him up to the bigs.

I listened to all the hype and I initially was very satisfied with his performance. That was until, Bob Melvin inserted Doug Davis back into the rotation. After that move, Scherzer's fantasy value declined. He was nothing more than a long reliever that pitched every 5 games. I hung on to Mad Max until he was optioned to Triple A . . . I am still mad about Max Scherzer and this happened nearly a week ago. Isn't a phenom like Max Scherzer a better option than Doug Davis? It must be these stupid pitch counts. I would much rather see a pitcher retire at age 33 because he pitched 160 pitches a game then teams continue to coddle young arms.

I have solved the Barry Zito problem. I think Zito and the Giants should not hire Rick Peterson. Zito is getting paid 126 million dollars to throw 85mph batting practice fastball. The Giants investment seems like our country's investment in the war on terror: too much money for little return value.

I think Zito and the Giants should part ways and dump the 126 million dollars into the war in Iraq. It will only have a marginal impact on us taxpayers but we will get more in return.

The price of gas is absolutely killing me and my 55 mile commute to work. I am thinking about renting a room closer by and coming home on the weekends. This economy is absolutely pathetic and the outlook is bleak.

I have recently joined facebook and it is paying some dividends in terms of making contact with long lost friends. I am happy to report I have 2 friends that are not long or lost.
