Opening Day

The Dodgers open the season with twelve, count 'em, twelve pitchers. Okay, Joe Torre, I'll accept that.
"Why do they need so many?" asks Cecilia.
"Because they all have potential but none of them have really proven themselves."
"So...."
"So Joe and all the rest of us are waiting for somebody to step up."
"Dodgers won their first game of the season."
"Yep. Kuroda did a good job, and the bullpen did a good job, too. But it's only the first game."
"And?"
"Teams are only allowed to have 25 players. And if you have 12 pitchers you only get 13 more to fill the other 8 positions on the field."
"The Dodgers have a good starting lineup. But I have a bad feeling about this."
Cecilia laughed.
"You're funny, Charley," she said.
