Dammit. Followed this game via blackberry, which is somehow more teeth-pullingly frustrating when the team loses. Was there any option other than Proctor? I saw enough in his first outing to have a fairly strong opinion that he cannot get major league hitters out. How many pitches had Noesi thrown in the loss yesterday? Noesi is a major league-capable pitcher. I never understand these moves by Torre/Girardi. It's like they don't understand that a loss means that every good thing that happened previously in the game, every ounce of effort or resource expended now adds up to one singular thing: an L. And that by bringing a guy like Proctor in who is so sure to fail (this was a Torre specialty), you might as well have taken the extra travel day, put in a forfeit, and stayed the fuck home or gone to LA early. Bringing in a Proctor = Why bother playing the WHOLE FUCKING GAME. Otoh, if there was absolutely no other option, forget the above. I've been traveling and sorting stuff these last few days. So damn frustrating not to beat those bastards in this particular game that they knobbed us on. Isn't this a game you particularly wanted to take from the Orioles? Maddening. Proctor, geez, that wasn't predictable. May I be the fifth to say in so many words, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Dammit.
