Pass It On

There might not be anyone in the phlogosphere that posts with more fervor than the folks at We Should be GM's.  Even in the offseason they're bringing it, publishing an email interview with Phillies reliever Chad Durbin:

You did an amazing job in the bullpen...do you remember the exact date your arm fell off?

Thanks, very much. It's a grind, that's for sure. I was thrilled, every single time I came into a game or got up in the bullpen...to be part of such a special team and season. So, if there's a moment in the season when I felt that I ran into a wall...had to be late August. You know what happened, though, and the beauty of baseball? Ryan Madson went on an absolute tear, right as I cooled off. It's amazing how those special seasons consist of story after story of teammates stepping up during the year. MadDog was amazing.

I firmly believe a certain degree of luck goes into the success of a bullpen.  Fortunately for the Phillies and their fans, it went down pretty much exactly the way Durbin describes.

Thanks to Durbin and We Should Be Gm's for the interview on this rainy Christmas Eve.
