err, Arizona in game 7. that one still stings, cause we spent game 3 and 4 beating up their closer...
Couldn't agree more -- it's been such a pleasure watching him pitch so effortlessly all these years, with not the slightest bit of conceit or entitlement. I honestly believe that his stabilizing presence in the bullpen in 1996 (he was Wetteland's setup man, locking down the 7th and 8th innings) was a major factor in that championship team, which itself served as the basis and start for their great run those years.
