As much as I'd prefer not to have Olivo in the lineup, since it was a lefty going for the hated Dodgers it was a foregone conclusion that he'd be in there somewhere. I'm not going to call it a day game after a night game type of thing, but it was an afternoon game after a night game, and given Wedge's tendencies it didn't surprise me that Olivo was behind the plate instead of as the DH. Doesn't mean we have to like it, or that we shouldn't rail against it, but it's certainly no surprise.
Completely agree on the Figlet, though. All hope of getting anything for him better than day-old bread is long gone. He's done here, every other team knows it, and if for some inexplicable reason they want him they'll wait for him to be released and pay him the minimum rather than pick up any part of his salary from us.
