So it goes. There's a wonderful, excellent article up on ESPN from Jim Caple about closers and relief aces and throwing money away. Some of its a little too nostalgic for "the good old days when men were men and relief pitchers were called firemen", but overall, you guys should check it out, because by and large the closer position is stupid, and Caple knows it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('24174','Andrew out of Rochester'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('24174','Andrew out of Rochester','I guess \"sports\"\' inane ramblings didn\'t make it.

I don't understand what the problem is. Within one minute, I was able to find the link that lets you see all of the post titles. I bookmarked it. End of story. Who knew blogging was such a picky affair? Anyway... I kind of agree about not really having to send Burres down. You at least know he can turn in a good performance every once in awhile. But then again, it gives the O's a chance to see who they have kicking around the minors, and if any of them have what it takes to pitch in the majors. Anybody know anything about Waters? Hard thrower, junk baller? What's he do?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('24171','dan the man'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('24171','dan the man','There is a TON of to-do about Roch\'s bad design on the MASN site.

And yeah, I was kidding about moxie (but not the drink...that stuff is gross). Like I've been saying, I'm impressed with the team and it's pseudo-magical run at .500, even though I don't think we can make it especially without DigDug. I agree with Neal, give me five innings and call it a success. Maybe the bats'll tee off on Garland. We have to figure out a way to win one of these.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('24168','Andrew out of Rochester'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('24168','Andrew out of Rochester','I sort of hope that John Waters can pull one out of a hat, too.\r\n\r\nAnd yeah, I was kidding about moxie (but not the drink...that stuff is gross).
