a humble request for joe torre...

please stop having matt kemp bat 7th in the lineup. has he not done enough to prove that he deserves better? does the .388 OBP or the 1.005 OPS not impress you? how about his 156 OPS+?  do you not understand these new baseball stats? should i break it down into simple baseball terms? matt kemp has 5 doubles, 2 triples and 3 home runs to go along with his .333 average and 6 walks.  those are all good numbers.  however, you must think loney's impressive .693 OPS with a team worst 3 extra base hits (with no home runs or triples) merits him batting 5th in the lineup.  

if you ever feel crazy and decide fill out your lineup card after throwing back a 11 shots of bacardi 151 or some wheatgrass beverage from those terrible commercials, consider batting kemp in the 5 spot... just to see how that works out. i don't know how many more times i can tolerate watching him stranded at 2nd base with the pitcher or some garbage pinch hitter flailing at a pitch outside the zone to end an inning.

this needs to be stopped. 

ps. 

if you have time joe, tell ned colletti to immediately sign chad billingsley and matt kemp to long term extensions. im not too sure what he is waiting for.
