To which, the English speaking part of bilinguel master Manny Acta's facile brain must have automatically thought - "you are a toilet, indeed!!"<BR/><BR/>Toil On, Dude!! A surprise in every package of CrackerJacks, containing such luminary hitters as Fick; Langerhans; Batista; Logan; and our hero Jimenez. Break Up the Nationals!!<BR/><BR/>Trust in Kasten.

In fact, with him being on the DL, had Their Closer pitched in "The Last Three Games," then The Colorado Rockies would probably be facing some sort of punishment from Our Commissioner Bud Selig for using someone who was disabled.<BR/><BR/>Also, even had Their Closer Brian Fuentes been active, he most likely would not have faced Our Washington Nationals in the tenth inning. When a team is at home, like Our Washington Nationals were last night at "the little ballpark on East Capitol Street" then it is wise to use your closer (in Our Washington Nationals case that would be Chad "The Most Trilling Closer in the Game" Cordero) because there is no chance for a save situation, so there is no reason to save your closer. Any win by a home team in the ninth or extras will be of the walk-off variety. However, most away teams as The Colorado Rockies were last night, do not use Their Closer when tied in the 9th or later innings because they hold him back for a potential Save Situation.MickMcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616918751816765213noreply@blogger.com
