Seriously. There's no way a manager should cost you THREE games in a 5 game series.

Matheny didn't do anything wrong; the Giants simply know how to win playoff games. 15 of their last 17 I believe.

True the Giants have had much success in October as of recent. But to say Matheny didn't do anything wrong???? What series were you watching? Because it wasn't this last one. Matheny's loyalty to struggling players is painful to watch. His call to bring in Wacha in the 9th with their season on the line after he hadn't pitched since September might be the biggest bonehead decision of the NLCS. I can go on with him leaving Shelby in far too long, bringing Choate in in a similar situation after getting rocked the night before, pulling Waino after he was cruising on 96 pitches. Matheny's an idiot and Cardinal Nation got an eye opening example of that the last 3 times they've exited early from the playoffs. By the way, his last 3 October exits were after losing 3 games straight. I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable and a perfect example of not knowing what the hell you're doing. He has the keys to a Ferrari but should be driving a Focus. He's not ready for a ballclub of this magnitude.

He got them to the world series last season...Made the playoffs in his 3 seasons with the team.

yeah. obviously I agree. the problem is most of the posters here don't watch him on a daily basis and so these awful moves during the postseason look like events that can be easily explained away by his postseason appearances so far. the guy inherited a great team and is driving it into the ground. we will NEVER win a world series with him. just will never happen. he should be fired but won't until the record starts catching up with him
