It is tough to win when an incompetent umpire such as Laz Diaz is behind the plate.  He missed the third base touch of the ball by the ranger’s third baseman (also missed by the third base umpire), and he also made a horrific strike call on I think was a 2-1 count when we had men on first and second., where the ball was about 6 inches inside.

That bum should never have been a major league umpire.

Thankfully , we are crap, so such losses can be taken in stride, but still …:
Thats completely irrelvant to Finnegan giving up a home run. Garcia couldnt do crap with Finn's fastball up in the zone.

The numbers are clear. Finnegan cant be given high leverage situations. He's middle relief. Good middle relief, but middle relief all the same.
