Well, having a competitive division was fun while it lasted. Do we know who the D-Backs will play in the Division Series yet?
On the plus side, it's very nice to see the Giants finally giving youth a chance. They've got a solid group of new guys that should be very competitive in a couple of years. Oh, and Barry Zito sucks. |

On both counts you are terribly wrong, but interested in which point you were erroneously trying to make.

Hell - you could make a good case (albiet pointless) that a baseball manager affects the outcome of baseball games far more than any other coach/manager of any other sport.

Speaking of Grady Little, I think most Red Sox fans would agree that no person has single-handed destroyed a team's hopes for a World Series title faster than Little did a few years ago.

And the only reason McNamara didn't look like an even bigger idiot in Game 7 was the fact that the rainout gave Hurst one more day's rest. McNamara wasn't going to start Oil Can Boyd no matter the situation and would have risked Hurst's arm to do it.

I hope Torre can do more for the Dodgers. Like give Andruw Jones a bat with a 40" diameter barrel.

As an Altanta Braves fan (BTW - how'd you enjoy that trip to the peach state?) I hope you now understand the frustration of watching a player with so much raw potential struggle year after year to hit better than .250....
