[QUOTE=joelshitshow;41836]An interesting point is that Brian Wilson had to come in at the last minute because someone (when they all wear 42 it is hard to tell who is who) else couldn't close the game out. He may still be available tonight, but he may be less effective/less likely to come in in the 8th.[/QUOTE]
Joel,
My condolences on the Oakland game last night. I was not on it and did not record it to view this morning, but what I saw on TV highlight shows and in the boxscore, I can understand your grief. Add it to your list of "games you will never forget"!
As for your Brian Wilson comment, I do not believe this one, the OVER, will come to Wilson time whether it is the 8th or 9th inning. What I wanted to respond to was your reference to the #42 fiasco. Whether it is Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente or Hank Greenberg, MLB has to cut that out. Could you imagine the confusion if they did similar in the NFL or the NBA? I recognize over 75% of the players in the majors, but I have to admit, I get confused especially when I have two games going, one with no sound.
Just my three cents.
Rudy
