They Love LoverBoy

Following is my response sent earlier today to the disgruntled Derek Adorer:


Dear Potential Assailant:


First of all, it is Mr. LoverBoy with a capital B.


Second, we call 'em as we see 'em.


If you really want to be helpful I suggest that you take up a fund to provide our aging team in general, and Mr. LoverBoy in particular, a large quantity of support hose in Yankee blue. They will most assuredly need them as the long season wears on.


Finally, as Jack Nicholson has so often been quoted, "You don't want the truth. You can't handle the truth."


All of us at Picasner At Large thank you for your comments regardless of how biased and misinformed. Please continue to write but please send them to someone who cares.


Your friend and admirer,

Vod


As regards the game Over Index... just another interesting way to look at saves. I refer Picasner to the Sparky Lyle Yankeeography. Sparky explicitly pans the ease in which saves are currently recorded. Enter the 9th with a 3 run lead, give up 2 runs, earn a save. Picasner reminds me of the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water... but sometimes you just want to shove his head under and hold it there".
