Bonds is out. Is the Giants' manager a retard?

 

Yes. Bochy's a terrible in-game manager. Bonds' spot is due to leadoff the bottom of the tenth. With the Yankees' lineup, I really don't see how Bochy could have taken Bonds out with a one run lead. It just doesn't make sense.

Bochy got the hook in the 5th (6th?) arguing the call at 1st when the garden gnome's foot came off the bag.

Oh. Well then, their bench coach is an idiot too. Bochy probably would have done the same thing though.

I can't say that move was flat out wrong. He's been awful in the field. They played to win and went with a defensive replacement with a 1-run lead in the 9th. That's not a bad move.

 

How funny is it to see a $200M+ team with Miguel Cairo playing every day?

Yeah, his defense isn't the greatest, but knowing how quickly the Yankee offense can erase that 1-run deficit would make me leave Bonds in just in case. Just have him play to keep everything in front of him. If this were any other team I would most likely agree with the move (most likely being the key words), but I don't agree with it here. Maybe a 2- or 3-run lead, but not 1.

 

And yes, I love seeing Miguel Cairo out there everyday for them. :D

Soo the FOX guy just said that normally when the Yankees have 15 hits' date=' you can assume they have [b']7 or 8[/b] walks too. How?

 

One of the FOX guys said that Jose Reyes didn't deserve to be leading the NL SS all-star voting. He said JJ Hardy should be in there over him. Oh, and also, according to him, JJ Hardy should be the NL MVP over Reyes or Fielder.

 

Idiot.

But wouldn't good defense and the ability to take away baserunners or limit extra bases be that much more important in the 1-run game? You can give up a run or two in a 3-run game.

Good thing Kline kept going to the bag. At first it looked like Parkman could make the play by himself, but then he bobbled it.

 

Super queer ASG commercial. Fox is the cheesiest TV network. I remember when they had no sports programming, and I liked it better that way.

The Giants need to score here, because they aren't getting another scoreless inning out of their pen.

Agreed but it's not as obvious as you people make it seem.

s*** stats? Get off it, Jacko. It's not my fault you can't see the value of them.

 

That said. He's the MVP no doubt. You'll miss him next year.
