1953550, He was sad enough that I believed him Posted by Walleye, Thu Apr-12-12 09:00 AM
One of my favorite Twins for his weirdly un-baseball demeanor. After giving up the homerun to Roberto Kelly in the 2004 ALDS, he famously said to the press, "Nobody wants to be in my pants right now."
I felt bad too because everybody assumed his success was due to steroids, but his career trajectory was so conventional. Small righty with big fastball has to tone it down as a starter. He fails to learn a third pitch, gets moved to the pen where both his fastball and one second pitch play up. It's the story of like 75% of late inning relievers.
