What's The Difference?

Say what you want to about Derrick Turnbow, at least his attitude was, "Give me the ball. I'll get it done."

Whether or not he could actually deliver was a question for the ages.

But when your putative closer says,

"I don't deserve that ninth inning right now. It's very simple,"

"It's embarrassing."

You should probably take him at his word and try to move on. The fact that Jason Isringhausen is in the same boat is cold comfort, indeed.
