MLB Random Thoughts - [9/10 - 9/16]

Who will be the worst rookie manager!? We'll find out at the end of the season!

Matheny wins.

Lead-off double by Craig in the 9th down one, bunts him over with YADIER MOLINA to play for the tie, pinch-runs for Craig with Adron Chambers (again, playing for the tie), Freese grounds out on a first-pitch swing, Beltran comes in to PH and walks on four pitches, pinch-runner for him, Schumaker gets out.

This guy is by far the worst fucking manager in the game and I hope he's fired once we finish this collapse.

MM said that Molina bunted on his own.

[Woy]

He's probably not willing to take the fall. I've seen him do it far too many times this year - hell, he even called it smart.

Should have hired .

MIL/PHI now 3 back. LAD up 2-1 in the 4th.

MIL/PHI now within .5 games of PIT, and 2.5 of LA (either 2 or 3 depending on what happens tonight)

When the Brewers' current 23-game run began, the Pirates held the WC2 and the Brewers were 12 1/2 games back.

Gooby magic?

I don't know what turned around the Brewers season. They got swept by COL and lost 2/3 to HOU and all of a sudden just turned it around. Pretty weird.

Is that when you started to watch again?

Say what you want about the second wild card addition [cue NAHSTE snark comments], but there are 6 teams within 4 games of the 2nd spot in the NL. Sure is going to make for an exciting last few weeks.

It's great for that, it's bad for any team that actually wins their division and has a great year all year. There's little to no advantage to them.

But whatever, fuck this shitty White Sox team and the beginning of Robin Ventura's slide as a manager. Absolutely horseshit bullpen management, terrible lineup management and has been on a rant that he likes the team better when they don't hit home runs. (Despite the fact, of course, that we're in first places largely because we're one of the more HR-dependent teams in the MLB).
