I sat there stunned as Billy Wagner blew his 5th save yesterday. I turned the game off after that because I had a feeling of what was going to happen next: enter Heilman, D-Backs win game. Of course, I put none of the blame on Heilman himself because he would not have been pitching had Wags gotten the third out. Casey Stengel once said, "Most ball games are lost, not won." Well,...

I feel like we went from having one Julio Franco in 2006 to a dozen of them in 2008. I just...
Read MoreWow, todays match-up between Brandon Webb (11-2) and Mike Pelfrey (2-6) really shows the disparity between a great team and a team who thinks they’re great.
