Land of the Leaf

Just as I was planning my alcoholic pathway to getting over the news of Ricky Romero hitting the 15-Day DL, word hits the wire (Bastian Tweeted this good news this afternoon) that B.J. Ryan will be following him with “trap tightness”.  I don’t want to jump to any extremist conclusions, but I’m pretty sure Ryan could use some time to get it together.

One would assume that Scott Downs will step in an handle the closing duties, that’s good.  As for the thinning rotation, we’ll have to wait and see what Brett Cecil can bring, if he is to get the call on Saturday as predicted.  Keep the faith my fellow optimists, for now.
