The RD Report, No. 6

RD is going to make this quick, he thinks. Kyle Lohse is acting hellbent on making himself the 11th pitcher on a 10-man postseason staff. He's fortunate for two things: 1. His team doesn't have a viable candidate to replace him in the regular-season rotation. 2. His team has an 8.5-game lead after Sunday's 12-3 loss to the ROYALS with several weeks to play, meaning that Skipper Gardy and Coach Andy and all of us can keep giving him chances to "pitch his way" out of whatever is ailing him. It is so frustrating to RD to see him shake off catchers -- veteran catchers with a knack for defense -- time and time and time and time again, and then throw his no-movement lukewarm heater over the plate.

Almost 34,000 peeps came to the Dome on a Sunday afternoon hoping to celebrate the end of a wonderful little homestand. And what did you do Kyle? You pitched like Peeps poop. There, I said it, Peeps poop. The only good thing is that I got to say Peeps poop. Quit it, Kyle.
