Sadly, it took me about a minute to get the joke.
I was close to quoting and asking.
I was nearly over-Joyce-d at figuring out my mistake.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I read the title of this thread quickly and was thinking Andres Galarraga and was trying to wrap my head around that one

Does Galarraga get the Dontrelle Willis slot?
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Both the teams the Giants played CHOKED and gave it to them. That series STILL hurts. The wrap up game rivals the Gru Bowl and Snow Job as angriest I've ever been. How did we hijack this thread? Hopefully this sign will gmive us a near perfect plan b. (yes I know been used once)

Not a big deal, but interesting nonetheless.
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Good article. Armando seems like one of the good guys, and his actions right after the blown call were pretty much the best one could hope to do. It's tough not to root for a guy like that.
If anyone can get him throwing well again, it's Bryan Price. I have supreme confidence in that man. The chances of our rotation being as healthy as they were last year are pretty low, and having A.G. as a #7 or #8 depth starter isn't the worst plan a team has ever had. Not too long ago he would have been an ace or #2 at worst on our staff.

Reds lost an apparent insurance policy when right-hander Armando Galarraga left Monday’s AAA game with an apparent arm injury in the fourth inning.
