Giants take the Reds in 4. Pitching will decide it. SF has to many lefthanders.

Dusty impressed me. At least for these 1st 2 innings. He made the right pitching call. Perfect.

Has it ever occurred to you that if a manager or coach is doing what you think he should do that just makes him as big an idiot as you are?

Its times like these that I miss bluecat, ding & mook bitching about Dusty Baker. Just because I want to laugh at them some more.

You are wrong butt breath. Have a little faith in your team. What a kick ass effort in SF. This is a great great team. I have every confidence we will be world champions this year.

They keep pitching like this, I don't know who will beat them.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

The pitching will be there. They just need to keep up the kind of offense we saw last night. Tickets in hand I am pumped for tomorrow night.

I have never seen any good come out of the extra umps on the foul lines in playoffs, only more bad calls.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

Sad how you degrade the only manager since Sparky to take the Reds to the playoffs twice. Im starting to think its personal.

Sigh.

They are winning in spite of him, Rat. He puts out two lowest OBP% hitters in front of one of the best RBI guys in the league in Votto. He insists on batting one of our best OBP% guy (Hanigan) 8th simply because he's a catcher. He won't bring the closer into the game in a high-leverage situation in the 8th inning, simply because closers work the 9th only in his "book". He's turned one of the best set-up men in all of baseball into a LOOGY (Marshall). He put our top catching prospect (the one we chose over another top prospect that we traded away) in the dog house after he argued with an umpire and now the kid (Mesoraco) isn't even on the roster. He insists on playing veterans over ROY talent (Rolen over Frazier).

I will grant that his personal skills in the clubhouse have done wonders this year and the players love him. That definitely counts for something. But, he needs a bench coach that makes in-game strategic decisions.

I think I saw Mesoraco in a minor league game last year, either against the Mudcats or playing for them. He was definitely the best player on either roster...

What's a LOOGY?

A left-hander used to get out left-handed hitters only.
