Catchers are a die'n Breed... huh ?? You laugh.. .. You play Fantasy Ball , or create Franchise Teams on an MLB Video game ??? Try and get a decent Catcher ...who can HIT to a "fans" expectations !!! There aren't many out there in the MLB for THOSE "fans"... Maybe I'm just getting older and realising a fact that's been around along time... or maybe it's just what I'm seeing on the Little League fields. But that tangent thought of mine should and will be saved for another blog......Ok Ok back to the plate of Dougie....
Doug Mirabelli At the Plate

Clearly the better Catcher for the job , Stat wise alone would be Doug. But for SOME strange reason my GUT is telling me it's time. Time for what ?? It's time to move along to something "new". There is a Purpose behind all actions and reason. And in this case.... in MY opinion...Heaven FORBID... Wake is winding down.
(I'll Miss you Dougie)
I have Faith...YES !!! I HAVE FAITH !!! WE WIN AS A TEAM AND WE LOSE AS A TEAM !!!... WE LIVE AS A TEAM AND WE DIE AS A TEAM !!!! THAT SAID WE TAKE AND ACCEPT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. SO LET'S RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN THE NEW.... AMEN !!!! ACCEPT IT OR GO FETAL IN SOME FORGOTTEN CORNER OF THIS WEBSITE ..CAUSE I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR PISS'N AND MOAN'N !!!! DIG IT ????
