Last night was pretty much the exact opposite of some of the magical games from last August, wasn't it. Solid lead, red-hot top-flight starter on the mound, no way we could lose ... and suddenly there was no way we couldn't. It was like the B-side of the wins we had last August where we'd fall into a hole against a team throwing a top starter, and it seemed the ship was sunk, and damned if we didn't turn it around, seemingly night after night. I'm not one to speculate that it's some sort of cosmic payback, but I'm speculating that it's some sort of cosmic payback.

Lou Gorman was a big shot VP, not merely a talent guy. One of the remaining Orioles:

I think his Rookie of the Year (debatable merit, but in a year of a generally weak crop) and his famous name got folks routinely and habitually punching ballots with the Alomar name as his brother kept the high profile alive. He also held the advantage of playing for a team that was constantly selling out the ballpark, back when ballpark ballots were the big nut. Let's take a look! 1990: AL All-Star, as starter, but ultimately was sixth in fWAR among AL catchers. AL Rookie of the Year, despite three pitchers (Kevin Tapani, Kevin Appier, and Dana Kiecker having garnered more fWAR. 1991: AL All-Star, as starter, despite an absolutely lost year (51 games, .219 batting average, no homers, seven RBI. 1992: AL All-Star, as starter, despite ultimately finishing 10th among AL catchers in fWAR. 1996: AL All-Star, but the voters have finally glommed on to somebody Ivan Rodriguez, so he doesn't start. Ultimately finishes 10th among AL catchers in fWAR. 1997: Good year! AL All-Star and fourteenth in MVP voting! Second best fWAR among AL catchers! 1998: AL All-Star, despite another miserable year, ultimately finishing with 0.0 fWAR, 23rd among AL catchers, including such luminaries as Mike DiFelice. He had a nice little career, from the hang around for a while/help the team/occasionally play well/make a little money perspective, but I think the idea of Sandy Jr. far eclipsed the actuality, as much as any player in living memory.

Sandy's in the Cleveland Hall of Fame? I can't think of a modern player who parlayed such a mediocre career into such a high profile.

I'm trying to figure out who "Bob" is. Branch should have been the GM at this point, answerable only to the owner, and that was John Galbreath.

Branch Rickey scouts Don Drysdale, 1954.
