John's gutsy WinWarb: 6.68 seconds

OK, we're all thinking the same thing: John should yank from his adenoids at least a 7.00 playoff WinWarble, especially considering that we missed the post-season last year, and he's had 22 months to gargle.

But he falls a breath short. Is something wrong?

Well, a 6.68 second WinWarble is decent -- not spectacular, but decent -- in a game one semi-blowout that we had to win. That's the key. We had to win. You can't celebrate a game we had to win. Note the desperation in the "thuuuuuuuuh" portion of the warble. He's tired. He's weary. Moreso, he's relieved... because we had to win. So he guts it out, gives everything he's got -- consumate pro -- and saves some for a walkoff swing game.

In other words, folks, he's warbling smart.

This is good.

Im busy! I have to calculate Sterlings win warble time down to the one hundredth of a second for my blog!


Also dadlak is getting menstrual blood all over the comments section. Pull yourself together.

For a five run game, this was an incredible warble. The key is not to compare it to every warble, but every other 5-run lead win warble. I guarantee you this one crushes all the others.

I blame Jorge's horrible defense.
