of course manuel takes hamels out and doesn't double switch. phils have pitcher spot up 3rd in the 10th. god he sucks
seriously? how can one be in baseball as long as he has and not understand the double switch? i remember saying the exact same thing about him in 20fucking06......unreal.

I don't know why he's gotten such a free pass this year. the team hasn't hit (his specialty is hitting coach), they consistently make dumb mistakes (reflection of the manager), he's left his starters in games wayyy too long, and they haven't shown ANY emotion.
It's easy to point the finger now because they're playing like such shit, but the manager needs to share the blame.
Yeah, I was going to say Arod as well, but according to FanGraphs he has actually been worth close to or more than his contract each year and I am sure that is what they are basing it on. Zito and Soriano have to be on it.

I really don't have a problem with not pull the DS there. Who's he gonna pull out, especially now that Dobbs hit for Valdez which I'm assuming means Ransom will probably play second and he didn't want Dobbs out there on defense, nor Ransom to hit third in the upcoming inning. It's really not that big of a deal.
UPDATE: Especially now that he included Ransom in the double switch with Romero.

good point...I would have used it as an opportunity to get ibanez out of the game. he probably made the correct move though.

Our frustrations have pushed us to the edge....
And to the gentleman who said Rocky III was trash - I say, how dare you, sir. V, VI were utter garbage. The first four are great. I can't say anything wrong with a movie that includes Hulk Hogan, Mr. T., and Sly shifting his transmission 47 times.

Terrible. That's why I wasn't saying anything.
If you can get to a TV, wait till Wheels gets back in the booth - him and McCarthy will tell you all about how hot it is in St. Louis.
they could replace wheels with the robot from Rocky III and no one would notice. he repeats the same 10 things over and over and over
Hot weather reference #72 just made.
Getting on base helps to get that done.
yeah, once you're on base it doesn't take an RBI to score a run
fangraphs unveiling the top 10 least valuable contracts in baseball today. Howard is gonna be #1
Nah, gotta be Vernon Wells
that was the beginning of rocky IV. you should be ashamed of yourself.
III is garbage.
dare i say vintage....1 fucking run. cole is begging....pleading even for 1 fucking run.
and it's 7 we've stranded thus far.
COME ON!
its about as fraudulent as you can get.
my bad...I - IV are all great. I still haven't seen VI. V was bad enough
my guesses
howard, Arod, soriano, wells, zito
And mark it down - this will be game #31 where they score 1 or no runs in a game. THAT is outrageous.
that's more than a third of their games. pathetic
Has it really been that many?

IN. SANE.

the last one was better than III. III was trash.

Actually working today unlike my usual procrastinating on the board.
Had to get a report done today.

yeah, I've pretty much lost the ability to think rationally. watching these games is self-inflicted torture at this point
