in agreement with my previous post

from Surviving Grady

"What is it about having Tim Wakefield on the mound that makes the offense shut down? The only run, and the only bright spot of the night at plate, came from a Wily Mo long ball. The rest of the guys checked their bats at the door and cranked the suck-o-meter up a notch. Seriously, is this some sort of team prank?...

...Whatever it is, Bard is in on it. Four passed balls last night. And not all of them were the nasty knuckler. At least one was a belt-high pitch that inexplicably bounced off the top of Bard's glove allowing runners to advance. Even mild-mannered Timmy was showing signs of frustration."

i reiterate: i miss Mirabelli.

I miss him, too, but I feel sorry for Bard. I mean, they take a guy who has never caught a knuckleballer in his life and make that his *only* job. It's going to take him a while to get used to that crazy pitch.

About the rest of the guys... maybe they figure that it is the "B" team, since that is when all the "regular" guys get their day off. But it shouldn't be that way. Wakefield is an "A" pitcher!
