Maq, New Mexico plays tricks with fly balls, you know.  I'll wait to declare Walker's game a total crash/burn.
Doc, The key to the Sunday start will be how Paxton throws the game before.....but then it's probably too late to change your intent.
But if Paxton were to go 7 and you could get short innings out of your BP...and you assume that Felix gives the pen a day off on Monday....well then The Bartender and The Lawn Maurer would be a fun duet to dance to.  Alas, you have to make your call before that, however.  
But a fist bump to The Skipper from me.  If you have to beat the Canuckians because they are your mortal enemy, then you give em all you got.
Man, Captain James Tiberius Kirk never* ordered phasers to be set on "Stun" when he was facing Klingons.  He had the landing party crank them up to "Disintegrate" and it was fire at will, baby!
Gird your loins and wade in to the battle.  
BTW, I'm not sure that Logan Morrison is going to get hot.  I wish he were, but the evidence isn't good.
Using B-R and going back to May of '12 his monthly OPS totals look like this:
2012:  May .601, June .770, July .690
2013:  June .890, July .697, Aug. .725, Sept/Oct. .571
2014: Apr/Mar .377, June .806, July .482
He's had two "good" months in his last 10.  Well, give him June of '12, too.  That makes three....all in June.  If he rolled out a .690 this month would we call that good?  He's had twice as many months at .600 or below as he has at .800 or above.  
He's two years into this "slump."  OK, he does have a single hit in 5 straight starts so there is some heartbeat and I'm rooting for a quick/full recovery.  I'm just not betting a bunch on it right now.

*I don't really know, perhaps Kirk did.  If so, then this reference should be about Inspector Harry Callahan, who never packed a .22 or .25 when cleaning up the streets of San Francisco.
