I might have this a bit wrong (but I am not too far off), but I think Michaels was 0-20 lifetime against Santana. Lofton could hardly be worse....

... No one, and by "no one" I mean "not even Mike Rouse," is worse against Johan Santana than Jhonny Peralta. I think he has struck out in 80% of his plate...
Good thing they locked up Eric Wedge for a few years. That means a few more years of bunting. Peralta showed pretty convincingly on his first two strikes...

Oh I can. If they tank this season, after being in 1st place for so long, such a great start, etc... the cries will be too loud to ignore. The extension was a...
There's a pretty fair chance if the team collapses for yet ANOTHER season, that Shapiro won't have to worry about firing Wedge. Shapiro will be worried about...
Well, what I said was that I did NOT agree with bunting, but if Wedge felt the bunt was in order it should have been Rosue, not Peralta....

Fair enough, but I'm not even sure that's correct. Rouse has executed precisely one sacrifice bunt in his career, albeit short. It's does not appear that he...
