Raburn is back

Yeah, you're right. He's only the fn manager for fuck sakes...lol. Listen, i know there are scouts and DD who put out this roster year in and year out but we all know the hard-on Leyland has for some guys. Remember Inge? Yeah, put Raburn on that list as well.

Leyland is a fn joke....end of story.



He is only the f'n manager, and his job is to manage the 25 men assigned to him by the General Manager.

You guys that think Leyland is the reason for Inge being here so long or Raburn being back are just lost causes, end of story.

I think it's a bit of both. There is no way that either make any moves without discussing it first.....with the ultimate decision on roster moves going to DD.

When it comes down to it.....GM is responsible for the roster.....Manager is responsible for doing his best with what he is given. I don't blame Leyland for Inge and Mudhen.....he didn't sign them. Unfortunately, the orgainzation decided that those were the best available players for that team....for that price....at that time.

Bad decisions by Dombrowski.

It's both. Don't give me that shit, bro...

You've watched "Moneyball" one too many times..lol.
 
Crap the Rockies pitchers is a lefty today... Probably see RR start again. Well i guess the only way to get him going is to try him verses LHP .. For a few weeks it would be fun to see Jackson and Berry at the top of the line-up... I just like having speed put some pressure on the defense..
 
I think it is both too but probably 75 % DD and 25 % Jimbo and his staff.

Of course Raburn is playing!! He crushes lefties. Remember?

100% it's both. Sure, DD has the biggest decision at the end of the day, but to say that it's all on the GM is plain fn ignorant. Give me a break with some people...
 
3 for 8 with 2 doubles and an RBI since coming back up

Not enough to convince me that he should get a large chunk of playing time, but we'll see how this plays out.

I knew that was coming...lol
 
Remember one of RR's hit was a dribbler he was fooled on for a infield hit.... I know it counts but and Jim is using him verses LHP which is smart.. He started hitting after the all star break last year when Jim used him this way for about a month...

I've never seen "Moneyball" at all. I'm just not one of those tools who try to blame all they can on Leyland.

The guy does enough dumb shit on his own without some morons assuming he's responsable for shit he's not.

You can nail whomever you want to the cross, you'll just be wrong. again.

DD makes the roster, Leyland has input/opinion, but the descisions are made by DD.

I'm wrong? Says who.....you?? lol. Is that a joke or something, buddy? Who the fuck are you to tell me i'm wrong?

And i don't blame everything on Leyland. I know DD is responsible for most of the trash out there. I know he makes the final call, but Leyland has a lot to say about it. You're just too fn ignorant to realize it. Good for you.
 
douche-bag takes strike 3 with the bases loaded, AND THEN GIVES THE UMPIRE WHAT FOR... LOL, WHAT A JOKE.
 
It was not in the strike zone. Didn't even look close.

Now now you don't want to defend the little Bambino because Ernie would have gave him the call...

"He stood there like the house by the side of the road" !!!!

Ball was to close to take by a scrub!!!!

No it wasn't, outside and high.
 
A guy trying to break out of his slump needs to get the bat off his shoulders.. But the Cardinals have 2 RHP in the first two games so he will be parked on the bench if Jim is going to do what he said he would.....
