And when I say something dumb, I'll take crap for it. Because that's how the internet works. And nobody knows if Pierre or Repko would have gotten on base. Manny is the best of the three at getting on base and doing something meaningful in an at-bat, and as such, I believe he should play over the other two.<br /><br />Dusty- I didn't realize opinions where reserved only for radio. I guess all those shows with opinions, and all the opinion-giving on the internet should stop then. Maybe you could let the SOSG guys know that they can't give their opinions anymore unless they do it on AM radio haha.Greg Zakwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064188830164937436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-80674610435458401492009-10-03T12:25:52.418-07:002009-10-03T12:25:52.418-07:00Wow, I missed the post-game fireworks.

Otherwise, I'd be out of a profession.<br /><br />FWIW, Manny wears the Golden Sombrero; Blake wears the GS. Should both sit? No. Only one has been in the line-up day-in and day-out and is slumping. Blake is just coming back from injury, so give him a day.<br />Manny needs to sit and quit pressing. Pierre for one game might spark the line-up to do something instead of waiting for a slugger to get us over the top with the bases loaded. . .oh wait, he struck out in that situation as well.<br /><br />New avi.

My style is to love my team, hate it, but always back it, and to just post light-hearted stuff here while having a brew and watching the game.<br /><br />Most people here fall over backward to find agreement among varied people and opinions, cause that's how we roll. We don't have to, but that's just the zeitgeist.<br /><br />There are other blogs where people can get all AM talk radio, and maybe that's a better fit.<br /><br />The very idea that, as you said, I might be "taken to task" is actually troubling to me. Nobody should be taken to task around here.

My ...Hey, I know anything I say can get criticized. My only issue with you is that threads here are generally pretty lighthearted and your criticisms tend to sound less like "I don't think that's a good idea. What about this one?" and more like "You are moron for thinking that."<br /><br />I don't care if you THINK we're dumb, I just think it gets old when you keep SAYING it.<br /><br />And back to the original point, I absolutely stand by the thinking that Pierre (or even Repko for that matter) would have at least gotten a single in one of those RISP situations that Manny had last night. Do I think that Manny should be benched forever? No. But right this second he is terrible and right this second is just about the worst possible time for that to happen.

But you know, I could easily be wrong as well. It's just a "take" and not worth much.

I took a friend to his first Dodger game and he loved it. The AYCE pavilion was better than I thought it would be, but my 6'5" frame can't handle those benches. I got to see a rare RMart home run. I got to tell some douchey teenage kid who was trying to start the wave that it was his fault Tulo hit a home run.<br /><br />And best of all, I got to stand on hallowed ground in right field and watch a kickass fireworks display.<br /><br />And at the end of the night, the Dodgers still had the same 1 in 8 chance of winning the World Series that they would have had if they had won tonight.<br /><br />Whoa. I feel so positive.
