1. I've lost track....who does he play for now?
He drove fans in Houston crazy, too.

2. The Mets...
he gave up a 4 run lead in the 9th yesterday causing us to lose and he was in trouble again tonight...but he just pulled it out.

Closer troubles seem to just follow the Mets wherever they go...case and point Armando Benetez...:shudder:

5. sounds like the Billy we knew and, at times, loathed.
Everyone loved to see him throw smoke but he gets himself in trouble when he tries to "out think" the hitters.

:-)

7. We had the same problem
with Danys Baez. He blew five saves before he got one Wednesday.

But then, the Dodgers can't seem to do anything wrong this week. :woohoo:

10. He's going to Vegas for rehab
on Wednesday, I think. That'll probably take a week or so. They've been saying he's likely to be ready by the end of the month.

I'm not too hopeful of him having his old stuff again, though. I'd be happy if he's merely an effective closer rather than some kinda machine.

12. Year before last
when he came in, the game was over. Not "Looks like we're gonna win." I mean it was over. He had... I forget now; 20-something straight saves.

It was like he wasn't human. :scared:

9. Better figure out what you'll do!
Cause it'll happen. He's sure fun to watch the radar gun on, though.

14. I was listening to it in my car...
I thought I was going to have to pull over on the side of the road when he hit the batter and gave up a run
