Nerve Wracking Closers --Thanks For Nothing
Erie's Scribe Erie's Scribe posted 4/18/2008 from www.legendofcecilioguante.com [flag]
If you can't tell, a year plus of relying on Joe Borowski to close out games for the beloved Tribe caught up with me this week. The only solace I've found is knowing that I'm not alone. If you're a baseball fan, you've been there. You never feel safe watching any game unless your squad has more than a 3 run lead. Your closer comes in and never gets ahead of hitters. He puts a lot of runners on... [link]

When Fox aired the clip of McCarver and Richie Ashburn broadcasting the 1980 NLCS, I couldn't help but snicker at Whitey's not-so-subtle jab at McCarver.
