"You know Mike, I'm not saying he definitely is, but why didn't he hit like this before?!?"
"Yeah Tony, it's just how that league works. *ahem* Performances like this just happen naturally."
Garces was outstanding for a time there.
I remember being in Oakland for a game and the fans being excited that "the fatty" was coming in. He proceeded to get out of the jam and the fans behind me shut up.
They ned to DL him for rest of season. Have him work out at 1b all offseason and either deal him or figure out how to make it work. He's sucked ever since the shoulder injury, so why play him?
