It’s quite ironic. I was just having a
baseball conversation with my Dad and he said that

Reds bat out of order in the ninth
inning in their loss to the Mets.
The voice on WFAN praised Mike Mussina for
the ability he's demonstrated to keep the 2008 Yankees
"in games." Gary Cohen commended Oliver Perez on a "quality start" against Cincinnati (he went six, gave up three runs, three hits and walked four). During that same Sunday game, a graphic scrolled across the screen which revealed that the New York Mets were averaging over three-and-a-half relief...

Watching Jeremy Bonderman, from 2004 through the first
half of 2007, you got the feeling that, while
