I'm not entirely against the guy (yet), but I think it would be a good, or at least fun thing to do if we listed all of his past and future blunders and just bitched about them. Commence.

....Leaving Schilling in to give up a grand slam to the #9 hitter, paving the way to the first Blue Jays home win of the season. :(

Amen to that. And putting him in again only to give up 2 walks. I still have no idea what was going through his mind.

He's falling fast on my "How much do I like this manager" scale.

I got a bad impression of him when he ran Kapler in either the first or second game, and it resulted in a strike him out/ throw him out double play. That really really pissed me off.

It's funny you mention that. That same thing happened a few times in the playoffs last year.
