JOURNEYMAN, I CONCUR WITH YOUR COMMENT ON RIX'S MECHANICS; HE HAS BEEN CHUCKING THE BALL OFF OF HIS BACK FOOT FOR 4 YEARS AND HAS MADE NO CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ADD HIS PATENTED SIDE ARM SLINGER AND IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY D-BACKS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PLAYING A SAND LOT GAME OF 500 WHEN FACING THE NOLES. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOME LINEMAN GETS ROLLED ONTO HIS KNEE AND TAKES HIM OUT IN PRACTICE. EVEN THEN, THERE IS ALWAYS THE CHANCE THAT BOWDEN RUNS HIM UP TO THE NEXT BENNY HANN REVIVAL AND GETS HIM HEELED. F--KING PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A QB; BUT IT WILL BE A SNOWY NIGHT IN HELL BEFORE SOMEBODY IN TALLY HAS THE BALLS TO QUESTION IS DECISION TO STICK WITH THIS A--HOLE. PEACH BOWL, HERE WE COME!!!
