Poopy Pants



Glad to know Kyle Farnsworth is living up to his track record of every even numbered years his ERA is off the charts.

0-2 in the Cardinals series with 3 walks in todays game to let the Cardinals win. Look for the thousandth time.....Never ever put Kyle Farnsworth in meaningful games with the game on the line. He craps his pants and suddenly forgets how to pitch.

The only time you ever pitch Kyle Farnsworth is when your team is up by 2-3 runs or down by 3+ runs. That way he doesn't go out there thinking, "If I screw up, I lose the game." Always leave your self an opening so you can get him out of a game before he does end up losing it.

Throwing 100 MPH doesn't mean you should be a closer. You need a brain to go with that arm. And Kyle Farnsworth has proven over and over he doesn't have control over his emotions to ever be a closer.

Joe Borowski has a brain, and he uses it while barely being able to get above 88 MPH. Give me a Joe Borowski any day of the week over a Farnsworth. Throwing 100 MPH doesnt mean jack if you cant get the job done.

Leave Farnsworth in middle relief where he doesn't have to experience pressure situations and he will be fine.
