Amazing 10-3 with no production from the corner infielders. Mattingly is proving to be 10x better than Torre was IMO.
And if he is ultimately successful, they will undoubtedly say "all those years of being Joe Torre's student are paying off" (or something like that)...and that will be a cryin' shame. He approaches the game quite differently I think. But he'll probably not admit it either...Yankee shit. Like old Marines or something. I'd like to see what he could do with Manny on the team playing like he was a few years ago...or with George buying whatever he needed, like he did for the HoF mgr. Joe Torre.
He is on his way with Kemp as his Manny and maybe Kasten will be his George or a reasonable alternative
Fuck. Just woke up. At least I see we won. Should have went 3-0 or at least 2/3 but I'll take the W. Still tops in the NL... surprisingly the Nationals are also 10-3
Although I want to give Treanor the blame and not Jerry Hairston after a great game, after the game Mattingly and Hairston both blamed Hairston on that play. It was a safety squeeze meaning the bunt has to come before you run, not the running before the bunting. Hairston said the only reason he started to go was because he saw the ball going into the ground and he thought it would go to the backstop and it was a good chance for him to run. At first it really looked like Treanor just fucked up but pretty cool of Hairston to take credit for the blame, and like you also said I like the call in having some balls to go for it like that especially when its your #8 hitter and no one was expecting it at all
you mean safety squeeze right? suicide is the one were he just goes and the safety is where the bunt needs to be dowm
besides that hairston would have scored easily on loneys double if he hadn't stopped inexplicably rounding the bag. he went from douche to hero in one inning.
Doesn't Houston usually kick our asses? Don't we always go in there with an attitude and leave licking our wounds? maybe I'm thinking of another team...the Nats ?
Hairston's play better have been the #1 play on SportsCenter. Have any of you guys tried boning a chick during a Dodger game? I wonder if she notices me watching the game Lol.. I missed out on the play but holy hell I would've been excited. Oh and Jamey Wright has swag.
