I just wish they would play the game right. They never play real baseball. They get big leads, they blow them because they quit scoring. They take games into the 9th and thier closer blows it. They try to lay bunts down and the pop them up to the pitcher. They just never seem to play fundamental baseball and I really cant stand watching them.
Here is a great example of absolutly horrible management. . .

That was Glendon rusch's inning of work. Now what in the world would make Dusty want to bring in Leicester???
He walks the bases loaded and they leave him in the ball game? He gets a lucky as Double play and then Dusty STILL leaves him in even after watching his control problems????
