They should bring in Dusty Baker or Ozzie Guillen

Or papelbon. He'd pretty darned available.

OK so Rosey has blown 2 recent saves with 9th inning HR's and has looked shaky in at bats he didn't allow a HR. Is this bad luck? How many more good/bad appearances will it take to find out? I don't know the answer. I guess all I'm saying is the leash should be extra short because a) the season is on the line and b) Rosey has been shaky lately. I don't want a repeat of what we saw right before the ASB.

I'm gonna have to remember to pick up some cyanide today just to have it on hand if Rosenthal gets called on.

I don't completely agree with pioneer, but Jesus, comments like this are [expletive] obnoxious and bad for nerdy baseball discussion business

?

Think you're overreacting a little bit here? All I'm saying is that based on Rosenthal's performance yesterday and his less-than-stellar performance in some of his past appearances against Pittsburgh, I am less than confident about him getting the call in the ninth inning against the Pirates. If you disagree, fine.

[IMADreamer]

He still has poor bullpen management regardless of the record. And no one is asking for him to be fired...show me one person here who wants him fired...

Mad Reamer is one.

I'd be fine if Matheny wasn't our manager next year.

I'm not demanding his firing I'm saying I'd be fine if he was. His game management is poor at best.

Matheny imo is manager of the year and yet we have another group that wouldnt mind seeing him go. i guess that shows there is room for difference of opinion.

I think he should be manager of the year as well.

I can't help but wonder if this whole injury situation were we keep winning thing is more to do with the Cardinals large number of MLB ready talent than anything Matheny is doing. I don't know.

[pioneer98]

I think Matheny deserves manager of the year but he makes mistakes from time to time. No manager is perfect.

Oh, sorry--yeah, I for one will be super-nervous if Rosenthal takes the mound in this series. It's better to be in a position where he is taking the mound than one where we're down 8-0 going into the 9th, but Trevor does not fill one with confidence.
