i disagree when you could see how far off he was with the fastball. he could easily have either continued to walk guys in or given up some very large bombs.
I completely understand leaving him in, especially with Dempster batting. But not having anyone warm is very hard for me to grasp.
If its the finger, that's about the best news we can hope for. Roy came back after that first injury and pitched two very good games.

A day after Hawkins said he "thought (Everitt) had determined who he wanted to win the game anyway." Hawkins didn't back down. Everitt declined to comment, telling the Chicago Tribune: "That is under investigation right now and we have no comment."
