I gotta disagree with the decision made in this instance.

Situation: Cubs down 1-0 8th inning with a man on third and 2 outs. Derrick Lee coming to the plate.

What do you do?

What was done? The Phillies elected to bring in Billy Wagner and pitch to Derrick Lee. Wagner promptly grooves one to the one of the hottest hitters in baseball and the Cubs MVP and best hitter to this point.

I know that you may be thinking, if you walk Derrick Lee it brings up Aramis Ramirez with guys on 1st and 3rd and a double might bring in the go ahead run.... but common if you are playing the odds the is no reason to pitch to DL in this situation.. walk him and take your chances with Ramirez.

Just a very poor decision in my estimation. It will likely cost them the ballgame.

how about the next half of the inning. 1st and 2nd nobody out and you let the guy swing away. A bunt makes 2nd and 3rd 1 out and a sac ties it. A base hit wins it. Instead a strikeout
