Says Dwight Bernard in a candid 1979 interview https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7903/31750606957_c6e96e5e9a_c.jpg> My goofing around the Kingman thread below got me into a kind of rabbit hole where I'm trying to de-conflate Dwight Bernard with Mark Bomback (who were traded for one another), with Mike Birkbeck and Mark Bruhert (and also, Scott Holman)

I wonder why they sucked, Mister 1.804 WHIP. (Although, interestingly, he faced 14 batters in four postseason appearances in 1981 and 1982 and retired all 14. Neat.)

I think the game in Montreal he references must have been this one where that no-talent hack Ed Glynn got the save in relief of washed-up celebrity soft-tosser Dock Ellis. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MON/MON197908051.shtml

I broke my eyes trying to read that, but there was some good stuff in there. Poor guy had to work in the grain elevator in the offseason.

I remember when the player was called Mark Boom Boom Bomback. Later

The Mets had no confidence in me. They weren't the only ones.

Such a beardy staff they had in 1979. It was like long hair was to the 2016 pitching squad.
