random thought

i missed the game today due to this bothersome having to work thing, and seeing how it all turned out i'm glad i didn't have to witness any of it. nothing pains me more than a mo meltdown. i did have to sate my masochistic curiosity, though, and skimmed a gamethread to see how the gruesome events of an otherwise lovely april afternoon unfurled.

so in essence, mo stank the joint up again. you know, i (loathe facing it but i) know, and mike lupica is undoubtedly doing a happy dance because he knows that mo has a recent pesky habit of letting the sox walk all over him. now call me crazy, but in light of this seemingly obvious problem, is joe torre forgetting that he has not one but TWO closers at his disposal? shuffling things around a little in the pen to get gordon in a save situation against the sox next series can't hurt any more than it does right now.

or, memo to the yankee offense, the lineup could actually try not leaving men on base and avoid the problem altogether. :D
