There's nothing like seeing your team stiff blow a lead for the umpeenth time. Studies show it is a leading cause of high blood pressure, stroke, and damage to living rooms among RBI fans. Who blows it in the ninth like Benitez in the big game? I'm open to 'other' suggestions for worst RBI closer.
Donnie Moore is bad

Agreed. Moore is definitely less, in this case.
Guilliermo wins out in a close one for me, but Moore would have been a close second. Never use these guys in the final inning, it's just asking for trouble.
I don't usually use closers. At least not those guys. If those guys are in my pen, I'd rather leave in my starter for 9 innings.
If I really had to pick, Schiraldi for sure. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

What???? I think Willie is one of the best relievers in the game...right behind Orosco as the best non All Star RP.
Eric King is death.
for me its calvin all the way. he's the only guy who sucks as bad in RBI as he did in real life.
Schiraldi, hands down.
Whenever any of us bring him in, in straight pitch, he gives up homer after homer. Schiraldi fucking blows!!!!
Donnie Moore. In any shittiest pitcher debate on RBI, always go with CA.
I'm not a huge fan of Donnie Moore or Willie Guillermo, but it's Calvin Schiraldi hands down for me. I never even let that guy in the game anymore. I get rare opportunities to play 2 player games. However, when I do get to play, I typically trash my opponent given the fact that they're RBI newbies. Calvin has personally blown 2 games for me to newbies and I hate him as much as any self-respecting fan of the real Red Sox would.
Schiraldi by a landslide. It defies the laws of science that one pitcher in straight pitch can be magnitudes worse than any other, but Calvin is....
I mean, he is fucking terrible...
Just terrible...
Last year's tourney I lost a hearbreaker to Jason/VIt. I belive I was Boston and up by 9 in the 9th. In comes Schiraldi, game over. First and last time he makes an appearance in tournament play...
