1992 @ The Home Stretch

[Clay]

Yeah. We're a "lame duck" franchise and that's why people aren't attending our games. It's not that we're incredibly, almost historically bad, it's that the fans don't want to become attached to my cavalcade of stars, only to watch them leave the city in ruins at season's end.

I feel better already.

Maybe it's management's "Scouting" of the new home city?

[Carlos]

I thought what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?

Wait, what? The Gamblers are leaving Sin City? What's going on?

[Dave]

This was briefly mentioned in Clay's season preview, which you apparently did not read.

But yes, the Gamblers will be leaving Las Vegas at season's end.

[Sully]

To Camden!

IL Last Call - Olivo in a landslide?

Really?

The only things Olivo has over Bayer is a lower ERA and more save chances.

Bayer with a better WHIP, better H/9, better K/9, better BB/9, better K/BB.

If anything, Olivo is the one on the outside looking in.

Well, Clay wrote it, so no, I didn't.

Headed to Montreal?

[Dave]

Camden already has a minor league team, thanks to me.

Montreal is on the short list along with two other cities. If Montreal doesn't make the cut, it will likely end up as a minor league affiliate.

Why are you leaving Sin City?

You must have really enjoyed your time in Montreal.

I've always found it interesting that we don't have a team in New York City.

Why are you leaving Sin City?

I recently saw the movie "Leaving Las Vegas" and it made a real impression on me.

Montreal is a pretty nice city. Very European, very international vibe. Not enough sports teams and way too cold though. Signs that your city is too cold: you have to build an entire underground city so that people can acquire food and other necessities during any season not named summer.

Please... he hasn't blown a save in over a year and has a chance of breaking the Single Season record - if that's not a locked in Last Call I don't know what is. Your complete inability to give my team/players credit has become laughable.

I saw that in Toronto. So awesome.

Once again, lets talk stats.

Show me why Olivo is better, in stat form, and I'll vote for him.

[Clay]

You won't vote for him for personal reasons.

Bottomline is he has delivered every single time he's been given the ball in the Closer role... and not just a handful of times... but at a record-setting clip. Does he strikeout as many as Bayer? No. But he (A) gets them out and (B) doesn't let them score. That's what I need from a 'Pen.
