L'Enfer, c'est les Autres
Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote that Hell is other people. I would counter that Hell is a bullpen that can't throw strikes.
David Purcey (who, at least according to the Globe, is now operating under the assumed name of Davis Purcey), Octavio Dotel and Mark Rzepczynski were given a six run cushion to work with after Jesse Litsch worked some kind of voodoo magic and stymied the offensively barren Seattle Mariners. A bunch of not strike throwing from Villaneuva and Frasor followed before the Trio of Doom began their reign of terror.
"This is one of those days I was just missing,” Rzepczynski said. “I think I could speak for the whole bullpen: We were all missing."
You think?
King Felix Hernandez pitched like he was sore, going for 6 innings but surrendering 12 hits and 7 runs. Jesse Litsch pitched 110 pitches, with 5 hits and 4 walks. I still don't quite know how he managed a shutout, other than the Mariners reside in an offensive black hole.
I will say nothing of poor beleaguered Shawn Camp except this: Shawn, make a stand and stop letting the mean men hurt you. You are a person, not a machine. And you and your arm don't deserve this abuse.
