Is Matt Holliday throwing the series?

Yes - We are witnessing Shoeless Joe II. Don't even think of resigning him.

Is Matt Holliday being paid off by shady gamblers?

Post by Joe Shlabotnik »

Let's see...

Never takes the bat off his shoulder and watches three hittable pitches go by for a strike out with the bases loaded on his first post-season at bat.
Doesn't tag up in an obvious situation to take 3rd.
Drops the winning out after playing near flawless D all year.

If it looks like [expletive] and smells like [expletive], is it [expletive]?

In fairness to Holliday, he's only slightly better than Manny in LF.

If I'm going to throw a game by dropping an easy out, I'm going to choose a more dignified and less painful way to do it than taking a line drive in the bread basket.

This morning, I thought in bitter irony, "If Chris Duncan was still playing left field, would he have made that catch? Maybe."

But then, if Duncan was still in left, we probably wouldn't be in the playoffs.

I want him gone. He has cost the team not only this season, but future seasons. We gave up our future for this choker. Oh, and take TLR with you. He should've retired after '06.

I picked the top option, only I think it should be in the blue font, because I read it that way.

Haha. This can't be serious.
