Oh-Dallas!

Dear Fantasy God:

Lord, have mercy on me. There was nothing in the free agent pool that I could get myself to click on except Odalis Perez to fill the gap left by Smoltz.

I mean, it is clear that Odalis has been praying to you. Hard. After a disastrous outing in his first start on April 4th, where he gave up 5 ER in 4 IP against the Cards, he has actually looked pretty damned dern good.

He has struck out 14 in his last 12 innings. And, he has only allowed 2 ER in that span.

So, Dear Fantasy Lord. Could you find it in your heart to give me one more quality start from Odalis? Clearly, you have had nothing to do with Pittsburgh since the early 90's. They are obviously doing some serious Sodom and Gomorrah stuff down there based on their last 16 or so years.

In the end, if this request does not please you and Odalis screws things up for my fantasy squad tonight, could you please have someone shoot him? We could use the ratings. It worked for J.R.

Oh, and lastly, as this move was done in desperation because of Smoltz' DL stint, could you please remove all texting privileges from Mr. Smoltz? I don't need him in the bullpen.

Yours sincerely,
