I just dropped in to say...
… can we never, EVER let Bob Howry near a major league mound again?
Thank you. I’m out of here again. Let’s win this game!

I think if Howry was on the playoff roster
And we had a 5-7 run lead late in the game, and he came in and blew it…I think I’d kill myself.

There is no way to defend him staying on the team. Activate Lieber from the DL and DFA Howry.

Good hit RJ!
I do agree, I have no idea how Lou is going to trust Howry in a relief situation when he gives up runs like these. He has to keep his composure and pitch no matter the situation.
by aznsensation on Aug 14, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions
He had a 7 run lead! Pretty good situation.
I can’t see the game, did he lose his composure? I think he’s got to go.
I'm just picturing Lou turning to Howry in a big playoff situation
or worse in a game like this during the playoffs and we have to sweat it out.

We just traded him to Atlanta for 3 more games with them!

nice...you know I have a theory...
the title “the dark Knight” does not refer to batman directly (point to the history of the comic all you want). Rather it points to the arc of the story of Harvey “the White Knight of Gotham” turning into a “dark” merchant of vengence.
But I don’t believe in Ward, the injuries have caught up to him. And I would like Hoff to get used to the pressure now so that he could handle it in the post season….if we get there (no jinxes).
