This is excruciating.  But I can't look away...

From the Today's Game topic, but I pretty much reached my breaking point around the 8th inning last night.  I turned the TV off and started listening to Pat and Ron starting around then and found it a lot less stressful to do that the rest of the way.  And not to quibble too much with Joe's managing last night, but when he starts going into the bullpen in a playoff game and starts swapping out relievers because someone like Drew Butera is coming to the plate, it just gets nerve wracking for me.  I probably spent the last 5 innings last night just waiting for the inevitable moment we found the reliever who sucked while our offense couldn't do much of anything with the limited chances they had.
