Tito to drop Ortiz in the lineup?

Stumbled on this interesting tweet from Joe Haggerty (a regular guest of Fireside Chats) after tonight's game.



I think it's time. Since coming back from his "break", Ortiz has hit a measly .158 with nine, count them K, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, in twenty one plate appearances. That's a remarkable 43%. Of course, he does have his only home run of the season (whippeee). Granted he's faced a ton of left handed pitching since his hiatus. But it is time to make a change for the good of all parties involved.

Tim Redding seems just right for some lumber to be flashed.

Usually, the most unlikely of heroes arise in the playoffs. Enter Omir Santos 42 games into the Mets regular season.
