    Agreed... there's no point in batting Burke third, if you're expecting him to bunt over guys in the SIXTH inning.

    Regardless of how your team has performed offensively, that's not smart baseball.

    Even if it was Maddux in his prime, your 3-4-5 hitters coming up with nobody out in the sixth inning is NOT the time to bunt.

    As it is, Maddux was on the ropes... and even though the bunt only ended up costing us a run (and an out), it still shouldn't have been done.

    Uhh... apparently every time Burke comes up with a man on 2nd and no outs. I can't believe they did that... Lamb still being on base at all was basically a gift. At least they still got a couple of runs this innings.

    OK, so does Lidge come in with a one-run lead?!? No second guessing allowed... yes/no?!?

    I vote yes.
