Get StartedLead down to 4.5 games, the fact that we aren't 8+ up on this shit division is laughably bad.

Even though this team is in first place, I have no emotional connection to it. There are about a half a dozen players I dislike and that never applied even when the teams were pathetic.
I don't like to blame the manager for putting in a "closer" in the game with a tied game. I do blame the "closer" when he can't throw a strike. Joe Nathan...the ultimate Tiger killer...he did it as a Twin and he is still doing it!
Taking out a vastly superior pitcher and replacing them with an inferior pitcher after throwing 6 pitches is retarded.
Doing so in the 9th inning of a tie game is even more retarded.
Doing so in the 2nd game of a double header, when the bullpen is short, and the game could go into extras, makes it as moronic of a managing decision you will see.
It doesn't matter what fucking title or role you assign to the players.
Ausmus is dumb, he's somehow significantly worse than Leyland. Nathan has been awful, god awful, stop bringing him in in close and late situations.
Apparently Joba had some ankle thing after the 8th.

How stupid do they think we are?
Apparently his surgically repaired ankle was sore but Ausmus was otherwise thinking of using him. Whether the 2nd part is true or Ausmus is just covering his ass we'll never know.
