Luis Castillo in what should be his last rehab start went 1-4 with an RBI and run scored. It will be interesting to see who they send down to make room for Castillo, I'm hoping it's Cancel but there's an outside shot it will be A. Reyes. Ryan Church played the entire game...

What choice does he have ? Easley's injured, he never saw Ramon Martinez play this year so he doesn't trust him, A. Reyes is hitter .240 and a weaker fielder, Jerry Manuel seems almost handcuffed by the situation to use Luis Castillo. Well the Gansta doesn't roll like that...
