Yikes. As far as jinxes, this might classify as something to jinx the ninth as well as my Putz line.

Putz did well. Now it's up to Bobby to do well again and not cause an all time implosion. Nice job Putz.

f*** no. I want to win. I got nothing against him. I just haven't seen much of him yet.

I finally get to see many of your hero's pitch. Putz.

That doesn't bode well. The roof gonna cave in the 8th and 9th?

Can Juan get it out of the infield?

Quite the battle.

Might be tough for a reliever to come in and throw strikes in the rain. Hoping he can do the job.

Time for Sergio to kick ass in a critical situation with all eyes on him. Good luck Sergio.

Rain.

No brainer to let him start the seventh. If he can make it through seven it should be Thornton to Jenks in eighth and ninth IMO.

What a f***ing prick Silva is. Don't show up your outfielder. Worry about yourself Carlos.

Paulie goes to right field twice, two RBIs today. Nice. Wish all hitters would take it where it's pitched.

118 pitches. Nice to see somebody in baseball let these p**** pitchers go more than 100 pitches.

Just don't swing at that outslide s***. That pitch fools guys for some reason.

Yes.

Bad bunting form. A Little Leaguer can put it down better than that (back in the day).

He should be able to steal on one of those slow outside pitches.

Get on base Juan.

Well then I'd think he's off to Texas in a day.

Hopefully Nix will keep the glove down and get in front of the ball.

What's the hurry either way? Unless people are dying to see Castro more often.

He does as good a job as any manager could with an underachieving pitching staff and wretched lineup. He has some relievers that whenever he puts them in, fans will say he's mismanaged the bullpen that day,. Give me a break. The parts he has to work with suck. Some people think he mismanages the bullpen when Bobby is put in to close. Put in Liney or Thornton or Jenks and some say he's mismanaged the bullpen that day. My guess is you'll be hating on any manager after you get to know him. It's the nature of the business. You can second guess 10 things in any loss easily. Players win games.

Why are you assuming in a month he'd turn down a trade to play for a contender? This team is going nowhere. He's not getting any younger. He won't block a trade to a contender. I wish you'd not pretend to know AJ. I don't know him and am not 100 percent sure, but I think these players want to play for championships. There's no hurry to trade him because of that clause. He'll be dealt either this weekend or sometimes later this season. Get ready for Castro time.

Cause he has a good voice and good personality. Lots of people (Dick Vitale) figured out you could make a lot of money broadcasting rather than being in the thick of the action on the field. It's easier and you are still involved in the sport and everybody loves an announcer, nobody loves the manager (except the month after winning it all). Aside from being a manager, it's kind of grunt work. Sandberg deserves credit for working up his way as a manager through the minors. He doesn't need the money.
