I Hate Bobby Cox Club

[MGrage]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has got to be like the fifth or sixth time old Coxie has left either Hudson or Davies in a game too long so I lose a QS. He brings out Hudson in the ninth tonight and Tim promptly gives up two singles and the Braves' crappy bullpen procedes to give up 5 runs. As soon as Dusty gets fired, I'll have a new #1 manager I hate, loathe, detest. Mahalo

Yeah, that dude has no clue what he's doing. What business does he have running a major league team - what's he ever done?

Seriously, while I can empathize with your angst (we've all been there), with the way the Braves' pen has pitched this year (yay Chris Reitsma!) you really can't fault Cox for pressing his starters to go all the way...

LOL Dave, Dave, Dave You should know logic and reasoning have no place when I'm on one of my rants. That the Braves' bullpen is no good is besides the point. I didn't watch their game tonight but I caught a bit of the broadcast afterwards and Chip Caray said that the relievers have had a 2.01 ERA the last 15 days. So there, NYAH! Mahalo

Hmmm. Almost the exact length of time that Chris Reitsma's been on the DL (twice!). Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
