He will have a nice memory to take on the plane to Iowa tomorrow.
That and a nice chunk of change for making the MLB roster.

WE HAVE GORZ
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

It was a name we had for a pitcher

For heavens sake let them KEEP "Gorzo"
Unlike Blou I don’t see him as MLB starter even the back end. We need a lefty arm in the BULLPEN. Grabow will be an FA anyway so let them have something decent for HIM and be done with it.

to the six games we play the mutts in aug/sept whether we take 1st place or wc. would love to see heilman ‘spot-started’ and throw the 1st nono at shittyfield in flushing, ny
hah ah!
i'd like to see heilman
get a chance to start against the mets. we play them 6 times in late aug/early sep. we cewrtainly shall have iced down a playoff spot by then. it would be ironic were aaron to throw a no-hitter gainst his former teammates?
