The pinch hitting made sense – Fuentes is very tough on lefties – bad on righted hitters though.

when you’re still considering lefty vs righty splits for your supposed stud rightfielder, you know you have a problem. besides, geren could have sent up the batboy at this point and it wouldn’t have mattered. he’s the most secure manager in the game. and it’s not because he’s a master at tactical planning or motivator. it’s good to be billy beane’s friend.

Then we hear about the trade of Lee to the Texas Rangers. This is a team that was propped up by major league baseball because of it’s financial woes taking the prize of this trade deadline period. If major league baseball will not impose a salary cap, then I propose they have a minimum cap. Lets say 175 Million. Lets get some real owners in baseball who care more about winning and less about the price tag. Lets get rid of the Lew Wolfs of the world out of baseball.

To me that was the last straw, what other manager on any team in baseball would do what Bob Geren did last night. I could care less about what the stats say. Their is no excuse.
