Great Hustle. I was amazed he was there to stop that ball from going into the dugout.

Yeah Glover is on to pitch for us.

I just noticed that in the PIck to Click contest no one picked Carlos Lee today. That is like the 3rd time in the last 4 or 5 days that the player who had the most points wasn't picked. C'mon people get creative with your picks!

END IT RIGHT HERE JOE!

So we have to be close to leading in offensive and defensive DPs this year. I wonder how oftem this happens?

Nah, he TRIED to bunt, that automatically counts him out of our team.

Beautiful inning by Billy. He is finally starting to string together some good outings.

Totally misplayed by Jose. We should have been out of the inning

lol. yeah it is May 25th and they guy hadn't given up an earned run all year, he must suck.

Keep reading down the thread Jas

If I had a dollar for everytime I have heard that phrase uttered this year, I would be buying this team!

BINGO!

I can't remember either

Danny Wright with a 1-2-3 7th, 8 in a row retired.

So did the prior Houston manager.

BMR who do you go to here?

wait a minute you mean we got em on, got em over, AND got em in? Did Hell just freeze over?

I am not saying he was a good GM, he was HORRIBLE. But that has nothing to do with being a FIELD MANAGER. It is a completely different job. Has anyone every gone from being a good field manager to a good general manager in baseball, or vice versa?

His obp is probably in the top 6 or so amongst leadoff hitters. I'd love for Miles to improve his walk rate so he could leadoff with Jimenez in the 2 hole. It would be sweet in my mind. Jose is up now, just throw a curveball and he'll miss, unless you hang it. They just showed this stat earlier in the game D'Angelo is 3RD amongst leadoff hitters in OBP.

He has baseball knowledge, not personel knowledge. He knows how to play the game, and what needs to be done, at what stage of a ball game. The leading people part is the part that I wonder about. And being the GM doesn't have much to do with leading people, unless you are Kenny Williams who interferes with the day to day management of a club. All the GM should have contact with is the Manager.

It is hard to drive in runs when you have station to station guys on base in front of you. He is hitting almost .290 with RSIP since 2000.

It is completely different in the dugout and front office. That is like saying Billy Beane is a great GM so he must have been a great player.

That comes from having guys like Konerko and Thomas on base in front of you.

I still wonder how Hawk would do as a manager. You definately wouldn't have a flat team with no fundimentals...

He is leading this team by 3 in RBI's...
