Now you, too, know the bullshit that is the 1-game play-in. Thanks Bud Selig.
Nationals are still going to crush them.
Everyone is going to question Cole starting the other day and not today.Hurdle deserves 100% of the blame. You don't go into a do or die situation with your 3 or 4 guy. Yeah, Bum's been lights out, but a team's approach to a game is drastically different when it's 0-0 or 1-0 instead of fucking 4-0 on a grandslam in the 4th.
rip in peace 2014 pirates season, I shall take my fan van to the off season thread.
Why do I have a feeling that the Giants are going to keep the every other year pattern going of winning it all?

Matheny and Hurdle must have read the same managerial guide.It's not even that though. He's been questionable all year, and the last. I've lost count of the amount of games he cost us by refusing to yank a pitcher when they've obviously overstayed their welcome. The Ernesto Frieri experiment alone probably cost us the division.
Would you be down for outing Hurdle?

Is Cole good enough to make a difference here, anyway? Maybe he should have won on Sunday
Madison fucking Bumgarner.2 hits. Eesh.
Well I guess it was too much to ask for both wild card games to be entertaining.
I'm still baffled that Volquez was the 'best starter' they could throw out there. Sure he's been getting better since leaving the Reds but no where near starter for a 1 and done play in game.
edit: Oh, OK I didn't realize Hurdle wasted Cole on what ended up to be a throw away game against the Reds. Yea I wouldn't be surprised if there were calls for his firing after that and other questionable decisions throughout the year.
