Fire Grady Little
Memo to Grady Little: I don't care if Pedro Fucking Martinez is pitching for you, if your pitcher gave up a couple of hits in the 8th and has already thrown 110+ pitches, you give him the hook. If Grady did that, the Red Sox would have won.
But he didn't. With a left handed hitter coming to the plate, Grady had a lefty all warmed up in the bullpen, and he didn't pull Pedro. After that lefty hits a double, ANOTHER lefty comes up AND GRADY STILL DOESN'T GIVE HIS TIRED PITCHER THE HOOK! Not only does Grady embarrass a legend, but he blew the Sox shot at going to the World Series.
As if that's not enough, Grady leaves Wakefield in the game, who's already pitched enough this series, and he eventually loses the game. You can't goto the well three times and expect to win, Grady, you just can't. I'm no baseball expert, but after seeing an inning of Wake and that scary near homer Giambi smacked off him, his knuckleball just wasn't knuckling tonight. I could have told Grady this, and he's the fucking manager, why couldn't he figure this out on his own and bring Williamson in?
Just fire this guy. The Sox had 5 outs to go to capitalize on their window of opportunity, numerous players having career years and superstars nearing the end of their contracts, and Grady threw it all away. Nice going, dipshit.
Well, on the plus for a lot of readers, this will be the last time you hear a peep from me about baseball. Yankees v. Marlins World Series? Yaaaaawwwwwnnnn.. Wake me up when it's over.
