I acknowledged the standing ovations. It was the enthusiasm, or lack thereof, that was noticeable. The 9th inning was also not spontaneous. Gibby set it up to entice the fans to give him the standing O. Spontaneous standing O's, or ones that drag on seemingly forever, are much more impressive.

Instead it was the perfunctory, you've been with us for 10 years, you were great, you suck now, but we'll stand and applaud for the great memories. You could see it in some of the peoples' faces. Even then, some kept sitting right through them. Others didn't even clap.
He's not the super man you want to make him out to be. Not anymore.
Thanks for the memories. Time to move on.
