But a couple of points:<BR/><BR/>1. His argument -- "That's PEDRO MARTINEZ on the mound" -- is not the worst argument ever, even if it should have been overruled; and<BR/>2. That's one game. Grady proved, last year, that though his in-game management left something to be desired, his overall team management -- evidenced over stretches of several games -- was quite good. He got the most out of his team.<BR/><BR/>No one was angrier than me in 2003. That incident will follow Grady for the rest of his career. But it's not the whole story.Humma Kavulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029582685278633988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937814114396988859.post-30692257343796058502007-04-16T18:57:00.000-07:002007-04-16T18:57:00.000-07:00Don't be so sure, HK.

Little will eventually field the best lineup he can, but he I predict that he will defer to the lineup that Colletti built until it is no longer tenable.<BR/><BR/>At the moment, the Dodgers are 8-4, so no one is clamoring for big changes (except me). <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the fact that Pierre sat on Saturday is a sign that Little has his eye on the situation. That's all that's required at the moment.Humma Kavulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029582685278633988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937814114396988859.post-22264770218589729142007-04-16T12:32:00.000-07:002007-04-16T12:32:00.000-07:00MLB out leaders through 4/15:45 J Pierre44 S Ste...MLB out leaders through 4/15:<BR/><BR/>45 J Pierre<BR/>44 S Stewart<BR/>43 M Mora<BR/>43 J Kendall<BR/>43 G Sheffield (4 DP)<BR/>42 R Zimmerman<BR/>41 E Byrnes<BR/>41 C Crawford (3 CS)<BR/>41 F Lopez<BR/>41 M Young<BR/><BR/><BR/>I wasn't aware that JP had a consecutive games streak.
