    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

    that was the beginning of rocky IV. you should be ashamed of yourself.

    III is garbage.

    my bad...I - IV are all great. I still haven't seen VI. V was bad enough

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

    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.

    Nah, gotta be Vernon Wells

    my guesses

    howard, Arod, soriano, wells, zito

    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.

    Another outstanding start going to be wasted.

    And mark it down - this will be game #31 where they score 1 or no runs in a game. THAT is outrageous.

    Has it really been that many?

    how did you not have the number at your disposal?

    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.

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

    III is borderline gay.

    VI is a decent movie made better just with how low the expectations were.

    IV was the greatest movie ever filmed.

    And that in itself makes it a classic. You will never find two men run on the beach better together.

    Pfft. Are you serious? If you're going by those guidelines, then only the first two fall in that category.

    I hate when people say 'The Godfather'. Too predictable.
