Five balls hit back to the mound tonight? Piñeiro can call the baseball to him now?

Clearly Piñeiro has some sort of gravity-altering powers or some sort of Star Trek device. I hope the league officials never find out.

Lies!

Thursty does nothing but help this ball club and all we ever do is bash him.

Without Thursty sucking on offense, we may never have traded for Holliday, or DeRosa. And if we hadn’t traded for Lego, we never would have traded Duncan for Lugo to make room. And if we hadn’t done all that then we never would have signed John Smoltz. So just remember who to thank when we make the postseason: JOE THURSTON!

See, this is the type of strategy that Tony understands and that we could never comprehend.
