Unlucky Number 13

Is it the number on his back? Is it that he bruised his knees curling up like a scared puppy while Sexon ran at him throwing his helmet? Or is it the fact he sees no humor in hitting Pierzynski with a fastball to the ribs?

Whatever the reason is, Gabbard is disappointing me. I do not like to be disappointed. Six walks in one game..wow.

I promised to show Gabbard love today during the game, but the game is over, as is the love.

Perhaps he would be better off in AAA practicing his curve ball & allowing Botts to practice hitting it.

I am certain a number of Bullpen boys would be happy to take his spot in the rotation and be more than pleased to throw one at AJ's ribs. Wouldn't you??

ouch!!

Perhaps Gabbard is just misunderstood, or his shoes are too small, cup is too big, or visa-versa. Maybe we can DFA him and the Brewers can pick him up. That is where Rangers go to die!

Ha ha ha. Nice entry.

Gabbard hasn't won my confidence yet either. And today certainly lost him a few more points. Six walks in less than 5 innings is just ridiculous.
