To be clear, I'm saying that Carlos Zambrano, despite his rocky start, is a GOOD pitcher who has faced the heart of many lineups with much success. I'm also saying that John Grabow couldn't retire the heart of a Pony League lineup. You're ignoring how godawful Grabow has been and completely focusing on which hand he throws the ball with. I can see why you're taking Lou's side on this.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

OH FUCK, now I get it! You are totally right Butch. Lou should have totally ignored the Philllies numbers against righties and lefties and put in a right hander who had been pitching poorly, because IN THE PAST that right hander had been good. He should have NEVER put in the lefty who was pitching poorly, even though he had been an effective reliever in the past, because, well, I'm not exactly sure, but Lou should have known. Therefore Lou, and not Grabow and the offense, cost us the game. That makes total sense.

And I'm certain it's what any good manager would have done.

You've completely turned me around. If you are in the mood for any handy tips, you could have won me over earlier if you had simply twisted my words around MORE than you did, and ignored my main points MORE than you did.

I'm not sure there's anything better than when BT gets like this.

So are you guys purposely winding him up? Making him out to be a Cubs management apologist? Talking about how he's Hendry's butt buddy? Do you do this on purpose just to get his blood pressure up? I can't tell if you're fucking with him or if you really think he believes in everythign Hendry and Piniella do.

Nothing I have said in this thread was done to wind BT up.
