Theres more to this than the aging of the Boom Generation, too. Nursing education has evolved previously from ritualistic into practical medical practices. It is projected that in time, they will be expected to hold a doctorate prior to becoming accepted into a nurse practitioner software.

Just the way it is. <br /><br />Froggy/Bryan - yep pretty much the answer is everyone thought the pitching would be good, but noone thought it would be THIS good. <br /><br />Z-CM - Oh surely it is just bad luck, but still it's kind of interesting. It's these kind of luck swings that can make Cy Young years or force guys to get dealt that shouldn't (not that ZNN is going anywhere) <br /><br />otrain - something to it but most pitchers would have that situation go the same way except that last homer would only close the gap to 4-2. At least sometimes. <br /><br />Anon - Hmmm? OK I'll admit I was "wrong" if he pitches with an ERA of around 2.50 or lower all year and is a CY Young candidate. But I DID like Gio to be a little better this year than last.

Then, with two outs in the 7th, he will randomly lose focus for 3 minutes, walk the pitcher, groove a 1-0 fastball that gets dumped in the seats, and suddenly get pulled with the Nats down 2-1.<br /><br />This is a hypothetical frankenstein of last year's O's/Guerrero game and last Friday's Reds game, but I do think there's something to it (as much as I love the guy).ocw5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/02490387895214583856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-65990995105046084442012-04-18T09:45:25.163-07:002012-04-18T09:45:25.163-07:00Bryan,
