Pat Neshek gets the save for the Phillies tonight and becomes their ninth pitcher to notch a save this season. The population of this closer committee has exploded.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I'll go back to my previous point - unless setup men now are on par with closers come arbitration years, why make Hicks the full-time closer? he's 21 years old, and he would be just as valuable pitching to tough lineups in the 8th and in tie games, instead of in the 9th with 2-run and 3-run leads. who was the last 21-year-old closer?finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I have several shares of Hicks, and I would LOVE him to be the closer, and I think he has the makings of a lockdown closer (although he still has a ways to go), but I think it's HIGHLY unlikely that he actually becomes the closer anytime soon. That likelihood may have just been increased by the ousting of Matheny, I don't know, but if I'm a betting man, I'm betting against more than just a small smattering of saves for Hicks in the coming months.

1st save opp goes to Hicks.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
