In With the Good, Out With the Bad, Round and Round, Like a Carousel
Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: So Joe Nathan (no relation to the hot dog company as far as I know, stay tuned for more info re this) has lost one game and blown a save now in this young season when:
a) entering a ballgame on short rest (48 hours or less think)
b) coming off Tommy John surgery
c) being older, 37 years old and again, coming off Tommy John surgery
Glass Half Full / Silver Lining: Today Doogie Holland pitched a great game. Who knew? And the offense, for the most part, has been strong to very strong. And David "Charlie" Murphy is batting over .400. Oh, and Josh is also over .400 too. I'll keep you posted regarding their respective charges to be the first batter since the Splendid Splinter to bat .400 or better for a season. Yeah, that's right, I jinxed them, deal with it. Might as well as get over with jinxing it now.
Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: I don't like Poo-Holes and the Halos.
And, at the encouragement of many, I will trust in Wash and collective Rangers brain-trust when it comes to the closer. But, Adams and Ogando are sitting right there...
