Horrible No Good Terrible Very Bad Decisions Part Deux

On Sunday I decided to bench Jermaine Dye this week. Dye had been fighting a nagging calf injury and had sat out two of the three games of the weekend series, plus Nolan Reimold was facing 5 lefties this week. Sadly, this decision did not work out well.

Reimold did all right, going 5/18 (.278) with a homerun, 3 RBI, and 5 runs. Dye had his best week of the season, hitting 12/24 with 3 homeruns, 6 RBI, and 5 runs. As if to rub it in, he also hit 4 doubles. During this week alone Dye raised his average from .268 to .287 and would have raised my team average a full two points from .274 to .276.

At least my pitching had a great week.

As a HNGTVBD bonus, here is Trevor Cahill's line while in and out of my lineup. Impressive, isn't it.

Part trois:

Trading for Mike Lowell.

I could pick up Bo Jackson and Albert Belle too if you'd like to corner the market on hip injuries.

In semi-related news, what an awful loss for the Sox tonight, just brutal. Think they'll stick with Bailey/Kotsay platoon at 1B or make a move?
