Well when Rivera is done in 2 years or so Broxton should finally becoming onto the open market and we'll see how Scuds likes the next closer since JB will be in the Bronx.

of course if Torre keeps asking him to throw close to 50 pitches an outing he may not make it

On a different note.

I'm curious on your thoughts of Armando Benetiz before he turn 30.

I was at the Yankee/O's game when Daryl Strawberry came flying out of the dugout to fight him after he beaned Tino Martinez.

He almost always chokes in the most important situations though. They needed to get one out of four from the Cards, and stay within 4 1/2 games. It's important not to get swept in a 4 game series starting the 2nd half. It's the importance of the game that got this choker thinking too much. Guy doesn't throw enough strikes in these situations. That's why Jay was able to take ball 4 in the 9th. If the fkr would throw strikes in these choke games, then they wouldn't feel like they can take that pitch. Despite what you two think, these opposing players do know he's a choke. They aren't exactly scared of taking strike 3. The're pretty sure he's gunna miss the zone. They foul off anything in the zone, and then know they'll probably get ball 4 from the choke.

I was at that game too.

Score was 4-3 with man on 2nd and 1st with Pujols walking up to the plate. Grounder inning over after full count. John Jay has 80 career ML plate appearances.

By the way actually I'm wrong, Dodgers are 40-2 after leading after 7 innings.

It took that many pitches, cuz she's a fkn choke. Always a lot of pitches, cuz they know she'll choke if they can just milk that cow long enough. Look at what happened. She gets 'em down in 1-2 counts, and then kets them get the count back in their favor (cuz she's a fkn choke.)
