Yes, That Is One Way To Look At It.

A commenter on Phillies blog Beerleaguer describes The Jose Mesa Experience:
watching jose mesa pitch is like watching your slutty girlfriend drunk at a frat party. where all the other guys are bigger than you. and there is nothing you can do as you watch her spill your broken heart across a dirty basement floor. and all you can do to ease the pain is drink and use illicit drugs.









That is a great description of Mesa
Except this time two frat boys (each named Ryan) cock-blocked each other and you were able to get her out of there.
Looks like she had too much today!
The real jerk in that scenario is Charlie Manuel. Two nights in a row, he brings in Zagurski — a completely overmatched minor leaguer — when he has other options available.
I’ve only been back here for three Phillies broadcasts. I’m already convinced that Manuel is every bit the moron people accuse him of being.
