Kent has always been a good hitter with nobody on base,but with men on base........not much nad.Furcal has not hit good pitching.Pierre hasn't been a good signing.Gonzo has been doing well,but pretty much the same situation........can't hit good pitching.So,they realize that they are going nowhere unless they score against good pitching teams. I still say Grady should be gone for letting one pitcher face 9 batters in the bottom of the 9th,and losing the game 6-5(after going to the mound with a 5-1 lead.)Same pitcher has returned to pitch great this week.So,it's simply a case of a guy choking when he allows men on base.Grady doesn't know his pitchers.That Broxton is a choker when it gets tough.Grady was simply wrong a week ago tonite,and he should be gone. That was unfit management on display.So,don't ever tell me this guy is a good manager.A good manager doesn't let one guy face 9 batters when he is choking out there.Let's face it.FATBOY BROXTON is not the guy to clean up his own vomit.So,leaving him in (after he gets into trouble) is borderline rertarded.

Dude: I thought this was about Eddie Murray being fired!....Maybe Mickey Hatcher can be loaned to the Dodgers for a week!
