Wow, what terrible managing by Grady Little. First, he has Martin try to steal third for ABSOLUTELY NO apparent reason. Why would Little do that? It didn't matter if he was safe or not (which he was), but the decision baffled my mind. Then he has Tomko come in to pitch, and right then and there when I heard "Tomko" I said "Great, we just lost the game!" The guy stinks. Maybe we could have had Tsao pitch another inning, or have Seanez, who is at least better than Tomko, come in, but of course Grady has to go with Brett "I suck and you should already know that" Tomko.
Grady Little lost us that game. Just like that.
I thought the firing of Jim Tracy was never justified in the first place. The guy could manage, and his players just didn't perform to expectations during his tenure, but somehow still got them to the playoffs.
And another thing. Please put Kemp into CF to replace Pierre in the everyday starting lineup. I'm tired of the "Pierre makes so much $ is vital to our beggining of the order that we can't take him out of the starting linuep" arguement. Offensively, we are looking for more power, and Kemp provides that. Defensively, Kemp is also better. He may not be faster, but he's definitely an all-around better player defensively. Just replace Pierre with Kemp already!
Furcal
Kemp
Martin
Kent
Nomar
Gonzo
Loney
Eithier
That's a better hitting lineup than with Pierre. Kemp still has some speed to keep our top of the order looking good.
Just a little rant. Sorry about that guys

We suck. We can't beat any so cal teams whatsoever. No matter how well we are -playing this season, we always get sweep by the Padres. Losing the first two at Dodger stadium is a disgrace. This makes it 5 in a row. Last year they destroyed us beating us approx 10 times or more. This year they already won 6 or 7. Something needs to be done to this team. I am tired of LA teams sucking this much, I am too competitive. I seriously wish I was rich with power. I would make the Lakers and Dodgers respectable again.
I am venting and its reality, why can't we be envied by everyone once again.

Well at least everybody over here is keeping their heads up! You guys do realize that we are only a game out of first right?
