Ok. This is much more roomy!

just saw a pic of Rauch
hadn’t ever seen him before, that is one big scary dude. It’s exciting to have him just for scare tactics

Hopefully Lyon will eat the fact that he’s been demoted and not go south for the season.

From what they were saying
He’s still closer. He’s just getting the day off.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
I wouldn't consider it
demoted, he still has his job and will probably be used a lot.

I’m just saying that closer is such a sexy position nowadays, like a starting QB in football. It would be a demotion.
You can't spell Arezone Diemondbecks without about four E's.
There's no comparison.
QB is more like an ace starter. Closer is more like the kicker.

I dunno. Most closers are NAME people. Mariano. Hoffman. Kerry Wood. Gagne. Papelbon. It’s a pretty big position.

Yeah, name people
Like Devin Hester or Dante Hall. But they’re known for doing one flashy, small part of the game. I stand by kick/punt returner.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
I think a Closer is above a Kick Returner, who MAY return a touchdown every three games or so, while a closer MUST do his job every night. It gets way more pub on TV and other media too.

Because there's

If it weren't for Tony Larussa,
the best relievers would be used in the most important situations. Now they’ll come in to face the bottom third of the order with the bases empty and a three run lead, because it’s a save!

What's wrong with
closer by committee?
Go with the guy that gives you the best chance of getting three outs that day. This applies not only to the ninth inning, but to those high leverage men on base situations in the seventh and eighth innings.
I believe in that fully
but consistency is a treasured commodity in baseball. I think it’s easier to do your job when it is YOUR job

I'm looking forward to it,
to see if Foulpole’s blood gets riled up over the closer by committee approach.

Intentionally walking...
..to set up a team’s best situational hitter for a double play is a very bad idea.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
That's the second tailor-made double play
that Clark has hit into as a Diamondback. Of course, through no effort of his own, neither of them were turned.
I’m beginning to worry that Clark may not end up being a better pinch hitter than Burke after all. At least D’Antona is here now!

My problem..
with iron man was just that the action scenes were kinda underwhelming. But of course, i think it’d be better to compare Iron man to batman begins, since they both have to deal with the origin. In that case, Iron Man wins.

You can't beat my DVD collection,
Short Circuit (number two was crap [no Ally Sheedy {except a voice over}]), The Golden Child and a pirated Russian DVD featuring ever single Police Academy with the most hilarious over-dubbing you’ve ever heard.
Seriously, it has the same man and a woman doing every single voice over in the film – and they don’t even try to put any emotion into their performances or to make different voices for different characters. It’s all in that same glorious jaded Russian monotone.

They've shown us that far too often already
It’s nice to see the other side of the coin more frequently of late.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
I'm fairly content with the roster as it stands,
the only issue becomes who gets sent down when Upton comes off the dl. It should be Burke, but I have a feeling it will be D’Antona which would be unfortunate given how anemic Clark’s bat has looked so far.
I just hope that a week of D’Antona pinch hit appearances will be enough to convince Melvin that he’s more useful than Burke.
They might
want to send him back down to work on his catching skills, though. That would make sense to me.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
