That was the most pathetic baseball game I've ever listened to.

Farnsworth didn't want to be in Detroit the first time he played here.
They offered him a bunch then to be the Tigers' closer, but he turned
it down.

Pudge asked to be traded - he requested a meeting with Dombrowski,
pointing out that NYY needed a catcher and that he wanted to play
every day. After doing due diligence on Farnsworth, DD accomodated
Pudge and the trade was made. I guess no one asked Farnsworth what
he thought of the deal. He managed to screw both his current team
and his former team today!

On a brighter note, Pudge had his first HR as a Yankee today!

*Only* 6 blown saves?

Well, I guess everything is relative.

Yeah, *only* 6. He was 9th in relievers in 2007; had the same W-L
record (1-4) as the number 1 guy Jose Valverde (47 saves - 7 blown
saves). The number 2 guy last season, Joe Borowski, had 8 blown
saves. The number 3 guy, Cordero, 7 blown saves as did number 4
Hoffman.

For a Tigers closer, that's not bad.
