Still, he's had a very good year.<br /><br />Looking at Garcia's stats at Syracuse, he was never used in back to back games. Most were 2 to 3 days in between. I think Davey used him back to back and he wasn't very effective that second day.

Sports unfortunately tears too many hearts out as you could see with Terry Collins post-game interview last night in comparison to the warm hearts at Davey Johnson's post-game interview last night. <br /><br />For every winner, there's a loser, and winning sure is better than losing. For the attitude in Natitude that Davey Johnson brought back to DC and the Lerner's who stuck with the plan and weathered many storms, much hate and at times divisiveness from within, and the transition from JimBo to Mike Rizzo to the key 1st round signings in Stras & Harp to the FA signing of Jayson Werth to a ballsy trade for Gio, the construction of this team and winning Natitude is officially spreading all over the country.<br /><br />-Believe or not, Natitude-Ghost Of Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05745394350047225996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-91456838261652985712012-09-21T10:19:57.102-04:002012-09-21T10:19:57.102-04:00NatsJack......ol Jake would of loved this season h...NatsJack......ol Jake would of loved this season huh?
