Havin’ a Field day
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Whether or not the Bravos win today’s rubber game against the Northsiders at Wrigley for the three-game sweep, I just want to say how much I love Edgar Renteria. What a pickup. Finally, we have a shortstop who plays great defense, gets quality hits and hits his share of homers but understands the importance of TIMELY base hits as well.
He wears No. 11 but in my book, the guy’s No. 1. Good move, JS. Thank you.
Good that we won this series against the Cubs. We needed that because the Cubs? They’re terrible, even though they didn’t play like it this weekend. If Dusty Baker isn’t managing them by season’s end, you’d best believe he’ll be in charge of some other MLB club. Not his fault that the Cubs are horribly mismanaged at the upper levels and that they rushed Wood and Prior to the bigs because, since letting us steal Maddux, they’ve never had pitching worth a flip.
Not Dusty’s fault that the injury bug has attacked the Cubs ferociously this season. Or is it? I don’t know. Thoughts, gang? Personally, I think Wrigley Field, for all its beautiful ivy and brick, is the place where MLB managers go to die. It’s lovely - a lovely graveyard that eats skippers alive. Weirdness.
