Why am I being asked to close when I've had a 5.09 ERA the last two seasons?

Oh yea, I have an idiot for a Manager.

I often wonder why closers don't blow more saves to put themselves in line to get the W

This thread makes me harken back to a simpler time when we used blue font to announce our sarcasm. At times, it feels like we have outgrown blue font. Now is not one of those times.

Did you finally get the point I was making though? That most of the time that they end up with a W is because they failed at their actual job?
