Sorry to be so harsh, but blaming Pinella because the team shit the bed during a 5 game series is complete and utter bullshit.
By your (fucking insane) definition, I want all of you fuckers to picket the Hall of Fame when they induct Bobby Cox. Then you can explain to everyone what a shitty manager he is because he managed his team to 15 division titles, but only won ONE world series. Clearly he shit the bed in the other 14. Fuck his career .556 winning percentage. The Braves probably had a big payroll.
Anything can fucking happen in a 5 or 7 game series. ANYTHING. The Dodgers were a MUCH better team than the Cubs in the second half last year. Losing to them is NOT a shock. Soriano shitting the bed is NOT Lou's fault. Lee shitting the bed is NOT Lou's fault. Dempster shitting the bed is NOT Lou's fault. The entire FUCKING INFIELD making an error in one game, is NOT Lou's fault. Managers should not be held blameless, but to ignore 97 wins during the regular season is complete bullshit (and Ace I don't give a fuck what their payroll is, the fucking Yankees didn't win 97).
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but this, along with people who believe the managers lineup cost us the game even when we lose 7-1, drives me fucking crazy. Lou didn't single handedly win us 97 games last year, but he didn't lose those 3 against the Dodgers. The players did.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
wow, when bt goes off, he goes off. i can't argue a single word he said. this may be the post of the year right here. to blame lou for the playoffs is completely misguided. pulling zambrano for marmol was not the wrong move. he did that all season with success. batting sparkle 2nd may have been a poor decision, but that had nothing to do with why they lost that series.
