Let me start by saying I'm a huge Rowand fan, but 3 1/2 great months shouldn't cut him that much slack. With that said I don't think he should criticize Rowand after only 16 games; he was justing pointing out people shouldn't have criticized Crede after only a few games.
I feel this is a key here. People were not criticizing Crede after only a few games they were criticizing him after 2 full seasons of below expectation play.

Our bottom of the lineup as a whole, do very well tonight!
7, 8, 9, 1 and 2 carried us tonight great production out of Uribe and Crede especially.
QUOTE(mac9001 @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:05 PM)
Yeah, but people seem to have it in for Crede. If Crede was still hitting .200 people would be b****ing left and right, while one person says something negative about Rowand and everyone comes to his defense.
Because Rowand is good and Crede has been bad for 2 years plus the first couple games of this season.

Rhetorical Question/Sarcasm
Appearently I suck at picking up at sarcasm which is ironic because it's my favorite way of communicating.

Uribe woulda had 2 as well.
Oh ya I forgot about that, he had the foul ball and the sac fly that were both crushed.
QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 09:56 PM)
Holy s*** 8 runs and no homers??
This is bizarro season
If the wind wasn't being such a b**** tonight Crede and Pierzinski would both of had Home Runs. But I guess it's better that they didn't, this way they show off their small ball.
QUOTE(mac9001 @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 09:52 PM)
I take this is a shot at all the people who were critical of Crede after only a few games.
Critical of Crede after 2 years, not a few games.
Ya, 17 games into the season and Rowand is batting .226. Let's s*** on him. Atleast Rowand has put together 1 good season in his career unlike Crede. Dumbass thread.
