Sometimes it's a walk, he gets yanked, and someone else has to deal with the mess, but it still is a pain. 'Course, Miller hasn't been lights out either this year. Don't have to worry about it today. Down 4-0 in the fifth with a knuckler on the mound and a get away day? Yeah, that's not a good combo.

I was so miffed at Girardi when I wrote my comment I forgot to mention A-Rod. He could have run for Papi OR hit for Buck, but then Joe might have had to pull out his old catcher mask. Actually, that would have been prettyf cool. I know. I was so miffed at Girardi when I wrote my comment I forgot to mention A-Rod.

And by what you said above: even with the 34 man roster, he ran out of players. Jeff I gotta admit I was very surprised Girardi left A-Rod on the bench when all was said and done.

You also might want to thank Joe Girardi for forgetting the game was supposed to mean something and having no one left in the dugout to a) hit for John Buck and b) run for David Ortiz. Naturally, if the game meant nothing the way it comfortably did for 69 years, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Congrats to the NL for lifting their mid-summer exhibition game curse!

Something is going on with TLR, it's like he is angry so he is taking it out on the fans and the ballclub. Just ridiculous mismanagement of the bullpen - first time he's suffered two comeback wins leading by 5 in the ninth ever. Guy needs some counseling or something. I'm grateful you were willing to say it. Now if only our so called sports writers at the PD would follow suit. No excuses at all. Way to tell the truth!
