wtf???????

if it aint broke, dont fix it.. i don't get it..
am i the only one who thought church looked very good there? i remember francessa suggested it on the fan(church batting 2nd) and i didnt think church would be good there since he tends to free swing(though he hits the 1 very well and 2 hitters get alot of meatballs) but sh*t it seemed like he and reyes were sparkin the team early in games like we had last year

Church looks very good indeed at the two hole, however he did it to help Delgado. Mired in his slump he is in, he was hoping that Church would give him protection. However once Alou gets back expect Church to be back in the two hole.

we are 2-8 with him in the 2 hole

we are 8-0 with Pagan and Church in 2 hole

Willie must go. These losses (like Sun vs Philly) will haunt us in September.

willies the worst manager in the league as far as strategy..

theres a reason it took him 12 chances to ge a job

and the worst part about hes horrible mvoes is hell keep doing it even if it doesnt work out of spite because he doesnt want people to think hes giving in to the media or fans..

baseball managers are so overrated.. i think anyone whos played baseball or watched alot of it can be a competent manager.. in mlb 2k8 i feel like i make all the right moves, i know when to bring the infield in, when to make a pitching change, double switches, defensive replacements, mound visits, hit and runs, etc... u might not agree w/all of willie's moves but over the course of a 162 game season thats bound to happen... our guys just have to get the clutch hits, then willie will look like a smart manager again

you know your talking about a video game right? theres a big difference to a video game being a manager for a major league team
