Mike Gonzalez blows another one
Going one out of three is good. If you're a hitter, that is. It's not so good when you're the closer.
For the second time in three appearances, Orioles closer Mike Gonzalez has blown a save opportunity.
To make matters worse, today's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays came during the largest home Opening Day crowd (48,891) at Camden Yards. His first blown save came on Opening Day in Tampa.
That said, Orioles manager Dave Trembley says of Gonzalez that “he’s the closer.”
If you have a glass-half-full perspective, there won't be any more Opening Days in his future until 2010.
Either way, it might be wise to add Jim Johnson to your fantasy roster as a handcuff.
