He was genuinely flummoxed. This is a man who's given computer print outs on a daily basis and yet still had to be told by a reporter what was going on on his own team.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Did you know that Theriot only had one walk? I understand that it's not your job to keep track of Theriot's walks, but guess what? It's not Lou's job either! It's Lou's job to track how well his players are doing and he knew Theriot wasn't walking much already and that he was in a big slump. Think about this for a second: you're slamming him because he didn't know exactly how bad Theriot's walk total in a given time frame. To say he "has to be told by a reporter what was going on on his own team" is huge, HUGE stretch. Do you expect him to know off hand how many extra base hits Aramis has had in the last four weeks? Or how many outfield assists Soriano has had in the last 6 weeks? Like I said before, if that's your big beef with the guy than you're looking for reasons to dislike him at this point.
