No drinking tonight. (or at least not until extra innings.) Go to save it all up for September. That last month of the season will be long.

Wow, I just saw the highlights of the problems with this umpiring crew from the Colorado-SF series and it wasn't all that pretty. It all happened after the game ended too! :eek:
Yea, wouldn't it be great if managers actually thought about what the right move was instead of pulling up the preprogrammed garbage that has been put in their brain since they started to pay attention to how the game worked. Not just in this case, but why managers stick with a fill-in who has at least gotten them that far in the game to face the other team's best hitter is just a non-thinking, "that's the way it has always been done." I betcha LaRussa brings in his reliever there, even if it was Burton.
Got to remember he used practically the whole bullpen last night. It's early in the game. I'm not sure the decision to keep Wells in was based strictly on getting him qualified for the decision.
Burton was already up and ready, is now in the game. He only faced about 5 batters last night. I don't see that as a good enough reason in the 5th, just so much managing inside the box, not that I expect anything more from Dusty, or any other MLB manager other than gutsy ones like LaRussa.
Did Stubbs try to bunt?
Ouch!! That may leave a mark. *beats up the pitcher for hitting Joey with that pitch* :nono: :censored:
2 hbp by Weathers. Is he trying to even some old scores?:D
Oops only 1 by weathers
Stubbs may be playing himself out of CF consideration for 2010. Yuck.
Want to save big money next year on a closer? I think we've got the answer in house.
Just didn't see too many plays like that out of EE.
I always love it when the opponents imitate the Reds for an inning. :thumbup:
