Spiegel and Holmes

Barry Rosner

Seriously, why are you guys bothering me?

What do you want from me?

I think I've made it clear that I don't really want to participate anymore.

And yet you call and you call.

I'll say it again, I love Tanny, but I don't understand why he just won't leave me alone.

Seriously.

Afternoons on the score.

Daniel Palencia, who saved last night's game in the semi-final.

The Cubs called Omar Lopez this morning and said because of that, they didn't want Venezuela using it.

But Lopez negotiated with him.

He said, come on a lifetime chance here.

And they agreed one situation you can use

ninth inning save situation and the double from a euhenio sweras just opened the door to

on a two two pet swarber swings and misses one out so the situation did arise a save situation only.

But Omar Lopez had to negotiate for that because it was a back-to-back.

Mason Miller, with one day in between, DeRosa was told, same thing.

But it's not a back-to-back.

You've got to negotiate to get the man an inning.

But that's besides the point.

Palencia pitched, and he was freaking awesome.
