"Hell, it happened all the time at the top of the 9th inning when Bobby Ayala used to be the closer for the Seattle Mariners..."

I cannot believe somebody beat me to that one. If you ever saw Ay-Ay-Ayala pitch, and it looks like you did, my deepest sympathies

Remember how, after still another blown save, the Seattle radio stations would play "Why, why, why ..... Ayaaala?" to the tune of Tom Jones' "Delilah"? :-)

And remember when Griffey was the jerk and A-Rod was the saint? :-)

Lookie what I found. Jim Street's column, 1997:

"At times you would like to see more consistency from Bobby, but he has a good arm and I'm very comfortable with him,"' Piniella said last night. ``I know he can do the job."

Ayala experienced another clunker in Monday night's loss to the New York Yankees, absorbing the loss in Seattle's one-run defeat. Four of the nine batters Ayala faced rapped hits, including catcher Joe Girardi's go-ahead homer leading off the eighth inning. After 13 appearances this season, Ayala has a 2-1 record, 5.63 ERA and, perhaps more ...

Gods of Baseball, have pity! Haven't we suffered enough?
