So, it's now Astros 0, Cardinals 1, Garner 1, for the series, much like it was Astros 3, Garner 2 to finish out the Atlanta series.
Un-****ing-believalbe Can you believe that we go from having the best damn bullpen to the worst damn bullpen. Absolutely ridiculous.
You can't bat Wheeler in the previous inning so he had to come out ... the better question is why wasn't Lidge in the game?
Garner never made this move against the Brewers... he was bringing in Lidge at the 7th inning just last week against Atlanta, IIRC. In fact, he's probably not doing it here because he was BURNED against Atlanta. Thus, he's techincally "learning"... from your point of view... but I will say that the decision to bring in Miceli here was a mistake.
Way to go Miceli. I wouldn't blame Garner if it wasn a different part of the order....but with 3-4-5 coming up, especially Pujols-Rolen-Edmonds. At least we have Beltran-Bagwell-Berkman-Kent on the way...
Miceli and Qualls should be sent back to wince they came. Damn. Should have put Roy in for a few innings. Garner doesn't learn from his mistakes apparently. F*ck.
Garner needs to be shot in fricken head. Why have Lidge get up in the 8th *at all* if you are going to trot out Dan Micelli against murderer's row? Just pathetic. There ain't no way in hell the Astros will win with decisions like this. Lame.
Man, WTF is wrong w/ Garner? Why does he put in a loser like Miceli? Why in the hell did we even give him a chance on this squad? Man, Garner, get a clue and yank his ass out!
