September 17, 200620 yr Borowski has been the closer all season long. His numbers have been consistently average (for a reliever) and below average (for a closer). Borowski has not been our closer all season long. It took about one and a month or so before he was consistently called in as strictly the closer. Not too long ago he had converted all but three save opportunities which is above average for a closer.

While Joe gave Borowski the main closer assignment since about mid-April, he was trying out different people, like Logan Kensing and Matt Herges, in the closer role till the series in May against the Devil Rays in which Logan gave up a walkoff homer. After that he was pretty much considered the closer.

I also do remember Herges blowing an April save. However in the end I think the experimentation was minimal at best. There was very little to experiment with and despite how limited the experiments were that does not change the fact that Borowski was not our closer all season long.
September 18, 200620 yr I was saying over and over that keeping Herges in will cost us the season.... wow, I dont care what anyone on here tells me.....I will love to see Joe Girardi get the he!@ out of town. He's cost us more games than I've ever seen. :lol :lol :lol Give me a break man.... He doesnt cost us the games, he doesnt play, the players do

That might be true but it doesn't void my original statement in the slightest. He has been given many opportunities to close since April but has been consistently mediocre as a pitcher if you ignore the save statistic. Are you arguing for the sake of arguing now? Or is this to establish this as some type of supposed bad move by Girardi? He has not "been the closer all season long" as you wrote. You were wrong. Get over it.
