Today's featured comment comes from Dave, who thinks I'm on the wrong side of the Michael Gonzalez boo-bird debate.

Dave's take: I like ya Pete but you're wrong on this one and should stop trying to plead your case. If the booing affected Gonzales then he's even worse then even us fans give him credit for being.

A major league pitcher with a 12 million dollar contract is affected by being booed, c'mon Pete, be real.

I know with that big contract they are going to let him try to work it out but closing a game isn't where a pitcher should be working out his problems. Would ya rather try to get your monies worth out of a pitcher doing poorly or win games? I know my answer.

Pete's reply: I agree with your last comment. I hope Dave Trembley is flexible enough to create a better situation to get Gonzalez back in gear, but I don't agree that a single player -- particularly a new one -- should serve as the whipping boy for fans who are frustrated with 12 years of losing he had no part in.
