Ponder This Ye Arm Chair Managers



1.  Did Joba just punch his ticket out of here?

2.  Grandy should simply spell Wells, Gardy, and Ichiro against right handed pitching.  He can give each of them a day off, every 4 days.  Grandy should only pinch run when lefties are in the game against us.

3.  Tex should have to earn his way back to the line-up, also. Overbay is hitting far better than Tex ever does ( e.g. Overbay comes through in the clutch instead of grounding into a double play ), and isn't far behind Tex defensively.

4.  The chemistry of this team should not be messed with;  not until, and unless, they begin losing with regularity.

5.  I still warn that Nunez will be back too early.  Be really careful here.

6.  We need something creative today to insure a sweep.  Romine maybe?

Honestly, you are convincing on all 6 points, some of which never even dawned on me. You're right. How ya gonna pull Lyle Love-It outta the lineup if he's hot?

At first, I thought Girardi must really not trust Romine since he's playing Steward in a day game after a night game. The only reason I don't quite feel that way right now is because of the double header tomorrow. Sometimes I feel Girardi is extra careful because he feels a little guilty about the Josh Johnson needing Tommy John surgery thing.

Also, would this be a good lesson on getting Wally Pipped or what?

I am not an arm-chair manager.

I manage from the couch.
