Doug Mirabelli= Automatic Out




DISCLAIMER- This is poorly written, but comes straight from my heart and mind as my brain sends impulses to my hands in order to type. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE NEGATIVITY, DO NOT READ!

Doug Mirabelli is useless. He is batting .188/.258/.318 this season. Big Papi could step up to the plate with a toothpick and post those numbers. Mirabelli is a rally killer and an automatic out. He kills this team whenever he plays. Fans complain about Wily Mo Pena and his strikeout woes, but they should be complaining about Mirabelli, who strikes out out nearly as much and doesn't possess any kind of power. He always looks overmatched at the plate and has the ugliest swing I have ever seen at the Major League level. It is no coincidence that Tim Wakefield gets poor run support compared to other Red Sox startes, because this stiff catches him.

I don't care if Doug Mirabelli can catch a knuckleball. If you put any half-way decent catcher behind the plate he will eventually learn to catch Wakefield. This hypothetical catcher (Say Josh Bard), would outperform Mirabelli at the plate and make up for the passed balls he allows with his performance at the plate. I will end my tirade and leave you with a new prayer to say every night.

Dear God, I hope that Doug Mirabelli will not kill us in an important game in a playoff series that wake has to pitch and that he is gone next year.
