    Man we suck.

    4 run 6th inning for Pirates. We are losing again. :(

    That play Willy nearly made earlier in the game was awesome looking.

    Why does Garner continue to rely on the same guys that continue to blow it more times than naught.

    In my 20 years of watching baseball, I have never turned on one of our own. Sh*t, I still love Lidge and run his club on myspace. What is about to come off my fingers from my mouth is a first. When I meet Chad Qualls, I am going to pull a Red Foreman on him and put my foot so far up his ass he will be smelling nail polish for the next 50 years.

    Lidge I still believe can turn it around... Qualls is just...Qualls.

    I think next season probably should just be a closer by committee btwn Lidge, Nieve and Wheeler (unless one of them starts to really shine)...I think Borkowski should get more time and Springer and Miller can do what they do. Qualls can carry their luggage or something.

    No, no he's not. Jimy Williams is one of the worst managers this team has ever had. We don't know if he would have made mistakes in the playoffs because he never got there with arguably more talent than the current team has. The team gave up on him, despite what was said to the media. It was clear in how they played after he was fired.

    he hired a clueless gm and a clueless manager, neither of which are going anywhere anytime soon.

    hurry up and come back with "BUT GARNER GOT US TO THE WORLD SERIES LAST YEAR. IS THAT WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF HORRIBLE IS?"

    i used to give garner to benefit of the doubt, thinking that he doesnt deserve much of the blame because he has so little to work with. not anymore. he is an AWFUL, stubborn manager. i like the guy, but he doesnt have a good baseball mind.
