"If you're scared, get a dog." -Willie

After an adventurous weekend series with the Yankees that should have been a sweep, Willie summed things up great.

I was at the Saturday debacle and I, of course, left angry and questioning Willie's handling of the situation.  I don't question him for bringing Wagner in...that's a good team and you want to nail it down.  Heilman was not available and you don't want Julio in there if you can avoid it.  Who else would you have brought in, Bradford, Feliciano?

You cannot manage scared or worried about what the fans, and Mike and the Mad Dog are going to say.  Do I think he left him in there too long?  Yes!  But, I'm not paid to manage and for someone with zero managerial experience until last season, he's done a pretty good job.  Forget Xs and Os, what matter is results and we are in first place.  

What bothered me more was Cairo being able to steal second AND third in the bottom of the 10th...WITHOUT A FRIGGIN' THROW!!!  How do George July (my name for Jorge Julio) and Ramon Castro allow that to happen?  HOW!?!?!  But I digress...my point is that I loved Willie's quote from yesterday's game.  "If you're scared, get a dog."
