More relevant than who had the most RBI's or runs (which are highlighted in your post) are the more important stats like OBP, SLG and how they performed w/ RISP.

Hutton blows. His jokes are just sad. He constantly bitches about the lack of fans. Deal with it, endlessly complaining about it hasn't helped and won't ever help.

This is the most shocking news ever.

From what I've heard Gonzalez prefers to give his players time outs rather than spanking them.

I love LeBatard for two reasons: 1) He's an extremely intelligent and gifted writer with a great sense of humor 2) He looks more like Billy the Marlin than should be humanly possible. :lol I agree on both counts.

Wells is boring. Byrnes is somewhat entertaining.

Chubby fellow from what I recall.

We'll see. Like most here I really hope he doesn't bunt much early in games.

Thanks for this

I definitely would not want him on the team.

I tend to agree that managers ultimately don't have that much to do with wins and losses. Fredi Gonzalez has an impressive resume and seems like an intelligent guy with a passion for the game. Hopefully he's a better in-game manager than Girardi.

Good news if it's true about the spending.

No, he won't. I think it's a silly concept. The only possibly way attendance rises in stadiums is when an already very good team hires a coach or manager who can take them over the top (HOF credentials).

If you picked someone other than Cabrera, you have a crush on that player. I'm looking at you Holly.

Wow, that is the most ingenious creative joke I've heard or read in my lifetime.

I thought Uggla for a long while, but Ramirez has clearly surpassed him at this point.

I can't find a good reason why he started tonight. not one.

Hopefully Jay's message got through to his woman.

Not surprised.

I'm sure they're chatting, playing cards or napping.

lol @ someone saying they didn't foresee this team falling apart at the end of the season. It's full of rookies. That was the most likely outcome.

So if Fredi next season doesn't do have the job that Joe did here, will we have a thread about which one is better and Joe vs. Fredi polls up the wazoo?? How good a job did Girardi do? You can't look at the record and automatically say that Girardi was the key in making that happen.

Are these rumors or did you just think up of 3 random trades?

How much credit do you give a manager for a team's success is the question. There's a lot of things that we can't see as fans. What we do see is his in-game management, which a lot of people here are not pleased with.

The weather making the schedule rough late in the year.
