I have to admit this had me laughing pretty well.It may be funny... but shouldn't we be giving him some credit? We are so quick to bash Macha (and Melvin) when things go bad, but when it turns around, they get ignored. I'm not saying I'm a Macha lover, but we should at least be fair in how we treat him. I thought rluz's post was suppose be in blue. I was confused for a second. To be honest I don't know how much Macha should be to blame in the first place, other than Hawkins in the 8th inning cubs debacle. Most of the bashing tends to be from an emotional/frustrated response. I noticed in my time that when a team goes bad it is the manger/general manager/coaches fault, when a team does well it is the player's doing. I would like to know if anyone is aware of way to statistical measure of how many games a manager can win or lose versus a norm or an expected?
