    I think you go for Framber in game two because he's so unlikely to give up a home run, even to that short porch in left field.

    Let junior pitch on the road where he's undaunted.

    Our Relief corp has not had problems when facing lefties. If your right handed relievers are getting the job done getting lefties out, there's no urgency to get a left handed reliever.

    Dusty is the type to go to a lesser lefty just because he's a lefty.

    I was fine with Smith being on the 13 pitcher roster before Brown laid claim. No real reason he should be on a 12 man staff.

    Putting my rose colored glasses on, expecting a Beltran-like resurgence from Mancini these playoffs

    Mancini's brutal BABIP luck was just setting him up for a huge postseason.

    The GM and Manager do not have to agree on everything. Actually, I like that there is tension. Keeps everyone on their toes.

    Manfred: Oh crap, we inadvertently gave the Dodgers the hardest schedule possible for the postseason.
    Baseball Gods: We got this.

    This is exactly why I did not want us to trade for a lefty, cause Dusty would use him wrong

    Nice job by Click taking Smith away from Dusty

    Pitching staff is STACKED. I expect at least one of the non-star hitters (Gurriel, Mancini, Vazquez, Maldy, Meyers, McCormick, Diaz) to get hot in the playoffs.

    The Astros better not get cocky. Look at what's happening to Atlanta right now.
