Leiter is one-time wonder

Al Leiter is lucky. Nothing more than an adrenaline start. There is a reason his ERA was hovering around 7. A change of scenery doesn't mean consistency either. Remember he is over 40. Sad part is that he's an upgrade over what they've got. Just a band-aid on a 2 man rotation. Long term this rotation is screwed. Oh, but Kevin Brown is coming off the DL today!!!

Leiter will rock you guys every time. He was here 16 yrs ago & is back to lead us down the stretch and we even got him for free. It will be 2090 by the time you guys win again anyway.

OK "anonymous"... He's over 40 (just like the rest of your team) & had an ERA approaching 7 for a reason. If you think he's your savior, you're even more delirious than we used to be. Is Dan Duquette consulting for you guys now?

By the way, 2090 is really lame. Can't you guys come up with something better than that???

How do you get being "well into your 40's when you were born 10/23/65.

Sorry about that "slip". We did say "over" 40 - not "well into". He's apparently not over 40 right now, but will be this YEAR.

You guys used to blast us with good stuff. Whats up with a technicality?

Ok, ok, so we edited out "way over" in the original blog to make you look silly. Can't help ourselves...

...try again. Bbeing born on 10/23/65 puts you at 39 years and change. Thats under or at 40, not "rememer he is OVER 40".

For your punishment say that two..thousand times!
