Bobby has to take more of the blame

I said earlier that Bobby finally made a great call by sending Wick down, but his latest move cost us another win. Sending down Devine for Pete (O for), what a bonehead decision. Ok he might need another bat, so send down Villarreal. This guy stinks!! If he's out of options, then let him go. Maybe Phily will pick him up so we can beat them.
Can you guys tell me if you would rather have Villarreal pitching in the 11 inning tonight or Devine? It should be not be a hard decision after watching Oscar over the past couple of months. If I were Bobby, I would call up Stockman and Devine, and send Yates and Oscar packing. This is getting old!!

Forget closer

Bobby has got to get out of this set-up / closer mode. Why would you pull Hudson after seven when he has only thrown 84 pitches and is getting groundouts? You can chalk this one up to Bobby and I'm afraid he is not going to change.
Wickman hasn't been the same since the trip to the DL. Why doesn't Bobby use him as a set-up if he is going to stay with this method? What a shame for Bobby to screw up a great performance by Hudson. Would Bobby have let Smoltz pitch a complete game in that situation? Now a days; I say no. And inmy opinion this is stupid.

Is Wilson a bust!!

I know we got Craig Wilson for some bench depth, but this guy is close to leading spring training in KO's. He stuckout 3 times today. I think it's time to cut our loses now and give a younger player an opportunity. JS makes some great moves, but let's see if he can admitt a miss. Am I alone on this??
