Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2332918, member: 2350"] I'm disappointed over the loss last night, just as we all are. But one big play isn't the whole game. When I coached at my school, I always told the kids, "If you don't want to get beaten by a hail Mary, a buzzer-beater or a bad call, [B]play better sooner[/B]. Because that's what you have control over. We had 13 innings, that's 39 outs, to get it done and we didn't. So blaming Girardi is like blaming the umps. It's especially stupid when a closer who went a whole month and couldn't throw a strike (read: couldn't do [I]his own[/I] job) points the finger at someone else. He should just shut the hell up, for if he did his job better over the second half - like he's paid millions to do, we're not in that situation. Just IMHO. And I'll see myself out now ... [/QUOTE]
