I know your closer ain't done that.

Update [2006-9-24 20:20:24 by Dex]: Jess just reminded me that I'm talking to mostly Padres fans. So...

I know your closer ain't done that, unless your closer happens to be Trevor Hoffman... in which case, your closer has done exactly that.

I, too, was lucky enough to be there for all three
Is it me or are the Padres picking the right time of year to get hot? See you at PETCO in a week! Let's host the first two games of the NLDS versus StL (...or Houston?)

NLDS...
If we're lucky enough to host the NLDS...we'll probably be playing the Phillies.
Let's have some fun out here! This game's fun, OK? Fun goddamnit.

You know what's amazing about Trevor
nobody has his consistency.  Everybody knows he's throwing a 87 mph fastball and a sick change up.  Look at our "next generation closers" Aki and Linebrink.  Aki had the strange delivery that clubs had trouble with the first year.  Then all of a sudden they figured him out.  Started pounding him.  Linebrink was untouchable up until the last couple of months.  He still may have his stuff and just be in a down period now.  Trevor has been around for 14 years doing the same ol' thing and being nails.  We give him grief when he gives up a base hit or homerun, but over his career he has been the best.  Teams can watch 14 years of footage and still not hit his change up.  That's impressive.  Relief pitchers rarely last this long and nobody has had the same results.  Simply amazing.
