I am not a Gardner-hater but I do criticize him a lot.

What do I think today? About the smae thing I have thought about him since his rookie year.

Makes great plays sometimes and makes disastrously bad plays sometimes. Cannot rely on him.

This is his 4th season, right? Assuming that's correct, it means he has been in 51 games so far. He has a 51-game history of unreliability. Now to change my mind, I'll need more than one very good game which is what he had last night.

You want to know who Gardner reminds me of? Michael Westbrook - - without the antisocial tendencies.
