RIP 2007

ps...Johnny Mac's bullpen management in just the last 2 games is enough grounds for termination.  are you listening FA?

So Cleveland, Boston, Anahiem, and New York for the AL. GAAAAAAAAY!

Fuck the AL. Go D-Backs!

Our offense is what it is, our starting pitching is what it is, but the bullpen was solid as a rock for almost the whole season.

I'm not sure if it's the incredibly long stretch of games that did it or the addition of John Parrish and Rick White but for a while, it's gotten pretty difficult to feel comfortable with a lead.

Whatever, we're still going to the playoffs.

That said, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk.

On the plus side my school is #1 in the polls!

"It's easier for hitters to get comfortable,'' Sherrill said of the impact not getting corner calls can have.

His 3-2 pitch to Wilson Betemit was called a ball and Sherrill walked up and talked to the umpire.

"He told me that Kenji (Johjima) moved his mitt too much,'' Sherrill said. "I think he needs to read the rules but what are you going to do?''

Sherrill added that his interpretation of the rules is that a pitch is called a ball or strike based on where it crosses the plate, not where the catcher frames it.

"It's Yankee Stadium, what are you going to do?'' he said with a shrug.

9 of those games feature a team scoring only 2 runs.

Only 1 of those teams won their game.

On to Detroit...

See ya!
