Looking at the condition of his bullpen, manager Dave Trembley said, "Liz better give us some innings. Otherwise, I'll be asking a little bit too much of some people."
Gulp.
Dennis Sarfate was supposed to replace Matt Albers as the bridge to the set-up man. He went 3 1/3 hitless innings last night, and Trembley noted that Sarfate "did what he's supposed to do. That's the job of a long guy."
Sounds like a different role for Sarfate, though each day can bring change, depending on who's available.
Brian Burres is still scheduled to pitch Wednesday in New York. "If it changes before that," Trembley said, "I'll let you know."

I would have thought Brandon Fahey's head-first slide at the end of last night's game would have given him a start tonight. Guess not.

As long as the the starters keep pitching bad, soon the bullpen will not have any roles. Guess Cormier is the long man tonight. These starters have to do a better job. I would like to see Cormier get some starts since Burress isn't doing the job.He might have the look of Jamie Moyer but he still pitches like a scared little leaguer.
