Today is Jerry Manuel's day to be the ass. 8th inning, 3 run lead, and two excellent lefty's out of the pen available, he goes with the righty. Nice job dumbass.
So he is willing to take "risks" in trades to make this team better, but not willing to take a "risk" when it is a free agent that involves giving up NO IN RETURN???
Honestly I am not sure why Gordon even started the 8th inning. 2 left handed hitters started off the 8th (Lawton and Vizquel) Why not Marte or even Wunsch?
Carlos got bailed out on a bad tag by the 2B on that play. The throw beat Carlos, on a GREAT throw from the knees of Tim Laker. Maybe we are getting some luck going our way! Or maybe being aggresive pays off
