Remind me, if I ever see Dave O'Brien or Rick Sutcliffe in public, to ask them what Mariano Rivera's balls taste like. I'm not sure there was a bit of analysis in that last inning, just fellatio.

"Professional" analysts.

Choo is a freaking beast. 2-3 and 2 stolen bases.

Laporta had 2 hits tonight including an RBI double.

Despite walking 6, Carmona only gave up 1 hit in 6 innings. The bully was very solid and the Indians end up winning 5-3.

Oh, and Chris Perez has a nasty mullet.

Edit: And the Cards win! Great, great night!

Well nice try Royals, they sure know how to waste great starting pitching performances.

Wow, Scott Sizemore with a huge blunder there!

YES! I spoke too soon!

For some reason I feel like Dayton will use this win to show how awesome he is.

"Bloomy scored the winning run, AnKiel with the hit to score Bloomy, Hoch with a great pitching performance, and Farny got the W."

"What's that, Farny allowed a run in the top of the inning? Yeah, I know, but he got the win!"

Scherzer pitched a veritable gem of a game, Ni blows it, then Cabrera has an at-bat for the ages to tie back up, we make Farnsworth look like... Farnsworth and then 14 million dollar Jose Rodney blows it like a fuchin slutbag...

Calm down, geez it was one game. One blown save doesn't make Valverde a bum. Comparing Valverde to Rodney is comical, not even remotely close stats wise in their careers and I would expect the same to be true this year.

Baseball is a long season, one loss or blown save isn't the end of the world. Even the best closers blow saves, just look at Soria blowing his save oppurtunity for KC as well in the 9th.

Did you see the 163rd game against the Twins last season?

Key words in bold and your bashing a guy who wasn't even on last year's team. Carry on though, trying to say one of the best closers in baseball in the recent seasons is the same pitcher as Rodney based on one blown save.

You said "its just one game" and I showed you how important one game can be, even in April...

Still doesn't mean the sky is falling after one loss or that Valverde is a bum based on this game. Which is basically what your post came across as.

Which means what exactly? That doesn't even make any sense.
