I was waiting to see if CoJack got that ball

If Pena gave up a home run right as I switched threads, I was going to go back to the first one.

Be careful,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Starting pitcher is more like QB

but you’re right that the closer position is way overvalued.
