NLCS: Cardinals-Mets

Valentin off the hook as Sean steals second!

 

Julio Lugo at second next year? Valentin looks completely shot.

 

Franco playing SS - you know those pictures were from a long time ago!

Franco Ks.

 

julio franco is garbage

mets bench really is terrible

 

Ugh the old man fails

 

I don't get why Valentin was bunting.

 

The idea of Lugo at 2nd sounds nice, I still have no idea why the Dodgers traded for him. I know he will be availabe.

 

Because he is slumping and he is garbage from the right side

 

Actually, I'm okay with it (and remember how I railed against a bunt by Chavez earlier this year?). Valentin has been just awful for a month, so the pinch hitter and Reyes are definitely better options. Of course, his bunting sucked.

 

Looks like Mota will be coming in for whatever reason

 

Looks like it will, in fact, be Mota. If this works out Willie really gets to be called the far-seeing genius.

 

Reyes needs to quit trying to win these games by himself. he needs to start getting on base or this will be a long series.

 

So I was right? I guess Yisman speaks, Willie listens.

 

I guess this has to do with the 5 days in a row thing, I had a feeling that it will change the way Willie handles the bullpen

 

if he's so horrible that he has to bunt with Julio on deck, we badly need a replacement.

 

it has to change the way each manager handles their staff.

 

Dear Baseball Gods; Please allow Guillermo Mota to not implode and let the Cards back into this game.

 

So long as he does not fall in love with his changeup we'll be fine

 

i'll go on record as hating this move. the mets have had 4 days off and you've got a 2 run lead. there's no way you can't bring in heilman here.

 

Yes, we do.
