I said WTF too, until I really thought about it. He was playing to win before Mendoza came in. It was actually a good “all or nothing” strategy. The bad part is you don’t have him for tonight…but then again, the yanks probably don’t have mendoza either.
I believe Mike is referring to Riveria, not Mendoza… we have Mendoza now, well after he was any good.
Yes, hopefully Riveria is not gonna be able to go tonite. He has worked a lot recently. Now if we could only come up with a way to make Matsui skip a game…. he’s killing us!
He had another WTF moment last night when he didn’t bring Mirabelli in to catch Wakefield. I can understand leaving Varitek in to bat, but after he batted, he trotted back out there for a second juggling act!
The difference between genius and stupidity in baseball managing is luck, I guess. I hope Francona keeps being a genius.
As I sit here with my broom by my side
I watch as Sox fans weep
I hold it high and start to cry
Sweep! Sweep! SWEEP!
BTW, I agree with you on the D Lowe pull. Much too early.
SWEEP THIS! YEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!
Can’t they ever do anything the easy way?
