Joba and Rivera this year are better than Mo and Wetland were in '96. It can work, right? Especially, if they end up in the longer divisional series and Joba can get his rest. I'm actually a little more worried about the starters getting through those six innings.

Leiter eventually pointed out that why would anyone want to know the location of a pitch thrown by someone as out of control as Bruney. But anyway I don't think the finger wag was intended for the pitcher.

And Jake Peavy! There's a reason why Mo and Gagne were tried as starters first, and made relievers only after failure at that task. Yeah, imagine how awesome Johan Santana would be as a closer!

With our ace on the mound tonight, I think that worrying about last night is a bit ridiculous. What this does show is who isn't going to be on the team next year. See ya, one-trick Edwar and no-control Bruney. Make sure you take fly-ball Karstens with you. The chances of us losing the next five and Detroit winning the next five are ridiculously low.
