I'm about to the point where I can't stand to watch anymore. This is ridiculous and it's unacceptable that wash is allowed to remain standing atop that dugout.

The Wash apologists will tell you that there have been too many injuries to blame Wash with anything this year. It is the non-defense defense method. There is no real defense for Wash so they just make things up.

Carter hit a 3 run HR in top of the 9th for Houston. About to defeat NY.

When we had Hamilton, Cruz, Napolii, Kinsler to go along with Beltre we would overcome his strategic backfires which included leaving pitchers in there way too long. We are not able to overcome that on a consistent basis anymore. We all know that there are current managers in this league who if managing this team would not have the worst record in baseball.

Which is what we'd been saying all along. Those teams made wash look good. He needs to go.

I may be wrong but I think Oates could have done more with those teams. I feel he was our best manager. We did not have the pitching in his day and NY was tough as nails then.

I just don't see JD ever pulling the trigger unless something unusual happens like Wash gets caught doing drugs again or if Wash and JD get crossways about something. I think Wash is here as long as JD is here. Then there is the whole issue about trusting someone who has kept Wash this long to find a good replacement. JD seems to be one of the Wash apologists. He obviously likes the way Wash manages.

If RW has Feliz pitch around him then this will take the cake since that should be done by Cotts and then bring Feliz in. So let's see if Feliz goes after him.

We seem to do better when we miss our spots which we have done a lot tonight.

I'm glad Wash pissed away our scoring opportunity in the 9th so I could stay around for this.

Damn that actually makes me respect Stanton more. He was looking for the fastball so he could do exactly that. He wasn't trying to go yard. Just needed a single. Good hitter...

That's my big rub with JD. How can any GM tolerate that?
