heh ... well ... no problem, I just find it very interesting that posters wait until things get lopsided before showing up spewing

While no one is under the illusion that Dobnak is or will be anyone's ace, be a bit more respectful than calling him worthless

oh suuuuure ... now ya'll show up

One thing I've learned in my old age ... I know the answers to very little ... and I'm not going to spend my time pretending I know better

Woohoo! .... and the lead is now cut to 4 ... we are charging back!

I have work to do, I should be doing it ... but who wants to bow a Haydn symphony when I can watch this?

eh ... why not? Maybe giving him one last opportunity before sending him down when Maeda comes up ... unless that switch already happened?

you're asking us? lol ... I'm sure some armchair here will be happy to ...

Considering the type of injury, I wouldn't rush it and then actually have a tear and be out for a long time like Luis Roberts

If they can be held to that, it's not bad ... 3 runs shouldn't be insurmountable ... but then ...

Here's the quote: 'Still, Rivera argued, he should not have walked Thome. That disappointed Rivera more than Kubel's homer. "I didn't do my job," Rivera said. "To me, walking in the run (was worse). You've got control of that. Home run - anything can happen. But walking in the run is unacceptable. You can't go in there and do that."'

I actually remember an interview he gave after that. He said he made a good pitch and Kubel got it ... he didn't regret it. He said that will happen. But he did regret the walks he gave up prior to that (were there 2 in that inning?). He said that those are what he regretted.

This is a great post to bring us all back to the reality of how things were and are. It’s easy to hindsight it, so thanks for the actual research. I do wish we had made an offer to Trevor May, though. He’s the only one I think it made sense to keep and is the only one I question letting walk.

Huh?

huh?

All of this. This is what’s going on and a I like the idea of a 3rd party monitoring. But MLB won’t do this or will over too long of a time, kicking and screaming, á la ped usage

yikes ... and ouch ... and hope he is better soon!

@DocBauer, if that was your paraphrase, what did the non-paraphrased version look like? ??

I live in Chicago ... Bartman is the sole reason the Cubs lost in 2008, so ... yeah, but now we are digressing.

No, one player's gaffe ... the result then is all on him. Nope. It was Buckner's fault, his boo boo, all his to bear. (/s)

We should? I think that's a huge assumption and generalization to make from one play. I mean, your statement could be true, but that play alone wouldn't bring me to that conclusion. I think it's what it is ... a huge lapse. And Buckner, if he were still alive, would probably say, 'Oh, thank God ... maybe now people will forget my boo boo.' Although, Buckner's 'boo boo' cost his team the championship.

ugh ... cmon, dobbers ... FIGHT!

I loved calculus, truly did

I don't know ... why?

yes!
