Will it never end?

Not only do we draw Oswalt in succession after Pettite and Clemens, but Kip has us in an 8-0 hole after 2 innings tonight, and Mac(k) is apparently not yanking him. He's either:

a) alseep
b) stupid
c) Mad at Kip for thinking happy thoughts when Lloyd got fired
d) saving the bullpen for that big weekend series with LA... oh wait, there's no bullpen left to save, that probably explains things
UPDATE: Nevermind, Kip only went 1/3 of an inning after giving up the 8th run, now it's VOGELSONG TIME. Which means we needed a choice e) didn't expect Kip to melt down so quickly and thusly didn't have anyone ready. Mackanin's got a lot to learn, specifically to ALWAYS have someone ready for the Kip Wells meltdown, especially after he gives four up in the first.
