I will say that Ethier makes the team better offensively. He gives the other guys a chance to see the pitcher and make adjustments. I would not want to run into your team in the playoffs (if either of us make it). I wish that we had a day off before we started this series, would give us some time to brush up on some film. They were NOT ready to face Broxton last night with all the smoke he was throwing, and that lies on Chuckles. Werth looked lost up there, at least a half second behind the heater. Once Utley had the chance to win it and sent the blooper opposite field, I knew Howard was going to K or do what he did, which was end it like a stiff.
In all honesty, how many games do you think Torre cost ya's? Your boys can play, and I doubt Manny has EVERYTHING to do with it.
