Wherefore Art Thou, Romero?

Last year, bullpen security guard Gary Baggott was ejected from a Twins home game against the Bitch Sox for waving his glasses at optically-challenged umpire Joe West. This year, Baggott might be tempted to point those glasses a little closer to home. After walking the entire cities of Seattle and Oakland during last week's road trip, J.C. Romero proved tonight that he can be equally ineffective while pitching in the strike zone. While tonight Team Batgirl's ire is directed at Juan Carlos for ensuring another arm-shredding extra-inning extravaganza, the entire bullpen should consider itself on notice: Gary Baggott and fellow AARP member Terry Mulholland are starting to look like the best options out there. Winning like this is more sorrow than sweet. And that's why Romeo just won his first Eddie Award.
