I LOL

after the NLDS when Amaro game out with some thinly veiled insults directed at Charlie talking about players needing to change their approach and not sit back and wait for the 3R HR anymore. It’s not your 2008 Philly team – Team needs a better game plan – or some such analysis on their defeat.

Don’t know why Charlie has been labeled a genius either. Mid way thru the ‘07 season, they were all calling for his head with the betting pool taking 9-1 odds he wouldn’t make it through Sep. Just goes to show you it’s usually more about the talent on the team than the manager running it.

I’m just bitching is all. I feel like if the Mets trotted out David Freese, 35-year-old Lance Berkman, Jon Jay, and Allen Craig, they’d put up a collective -5 WAR.

Plus, St. Louis needed an utter month-long implosion by Atlanta, the Phillies bats to implode, the Brewers pitchers to implode, and Nelson Cruz to fuck up in RF just to still be here. It’s absurd how much good luck they’ve had.

For the ubiquitous Grandal fan's out there

Reds catching prospect Yasmani Grandal suffered a left hand injury while playing fall ball.
“It’s very sore,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “It bothers him when he catches and it really bothers him when he hits. He’s going to see the doctor tomorrow and we’ll decide whether to shut him down or not.” Grandal hit a combined .305 with 14 homers and 68 RBI in three stages of the minors in 2011, but is in danger of seeing his fall league activity cut short. Still, it’s not unrealistic to think he’ll be up in the majors by some point next season.
