If you look at that Friday night game (Hoyt vs. Andujar), you have to
wonder what point Williams was trying to make.  The score of the game
was 2-0 (padres), so the Padres win was due to Hoyt's fine pitching
and/or the Cardinals poor hitting. Andujar gave up only two runs - a nice
pitching performance - and cannot really be criticized for that. I see
only two possible explanations of that statement: 1) Williams also having
"little boy" symptoms ("Nyeh, nyeh, I got you baaaack!")
2) Williams determining whether a pitcher should start the all-star game
based on his won-loss record. This loss was therefore saying: "See, you
lost so you dont deserve to start anyhow."
