It's all your fault!
If they hadn’t handed you Bradford on a silver platter so they could “get a look at some” other relievers – see Kam Mickolio, and today’s stellar tandem of Rocky Cherry and Jim Miller – these things might not happen with such alarming frequency.
Plus you’ve got 4 games in Baltimore late so remember how it might help.
By the way, whoare the PTBNL candidates or speculates?

Sarfate threw another 3 scoreless.
Then dumb shit happened.

No lead is safe with Baltimore's bullpen, something is wrong if you can average ~5.5 runs per game and not be a .500 team.

Even Stokes with the Mets right now too (granted it is a fairly limited sample size).

Tues. - 13,478; Wed. – 12,678; Thurs. – 14,089. None of those are 3000% of 600.

Ina bar after softball last night here in the OC, talkin baseball with my son and a Dodger fan there.
The latter’s comment cracked me up – “Can the Dodgers have the Yanks record since they’re not doing anything with it?”
Can’t believe I have to root for Pavano! As we’re saying about it in NYY fan circles-I’d root for an axe murderer if he could throw strikes. Yeah, that Pavano is one popular guy.

I love how sternfan1 takes ownership of the Rays
but is constantly nay-saying, and crying about every small negative thing that happens to the Rays. No differen’t than most “fair-weather” fans.. if I dare say so.
