Francisco Liriano is pitching right now

...and he looks great.

6 up and 6 down so far. I'd be more than a little worried if I was the rest of the american league.

I picked Twins/Mets for the WS in a futures wager a few weeks back, feeling pretty ok about it right now

That would be my pick for the most likely pairing atm.

WHOA and now liriano is keeling over.

[pudley4]

f***!

[WillMagic]

and liriano's been pulled.

Wow.

If I were a trader I'd be selling that future like right now.

And of course I jinx the whole freaking thing. Bloop single followed by trainers coming out and Liriano's exist.

Boo

Wow. Putting Liriano in today is really really silly on the organizations behalf.

Sure, they are barely leading the WC race, but come on...the upside to having a HEALTHY Liriano for YEARS for CHEAP is SO SO SO SO SO much better than the *chance* that they *hold onto* the WC this year, while putting Liriano to risk.

Cliff notes: Maybe the org. was 99.9% sure that he was 100% healthy, so I'm not going to blame them per se, but I'm saying if I'm in charge, I wait until Liriano bangs down my office door demanding to go in before I put him in.

The upside is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Both absolutely, and financially. Just not worth the risk...

Could have gotten some sick talent for him in my keeper league before the trade deadline.....what could have been.

Let's try not to be too results oriented, okay?
