Absolutely should be on this list... Ned Yost is down 1-0 with Ben Sheets at the plate, 1st and 3rd, 1 out... Sheets is batting exactly .000 this season (0-35)... Sheets has thrown about 70 pitches through 7 innings and 6-7-8 is coming up for the Cards... conventional wisdom says to pinch hit with likely Wes Helms, a guy hitting almost .300... but I don't care WHO you bring off the bench at that point... but someone hitting better than .000! Yost has Sheets sacrifice the runner to 2nd, making it 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs, the next guy makes out on 2 pitches, and then Sheets comes out and gives up 2 runs in the top of the 8th... stellar managing... any idiot even out of Atlanta's bullpen could've done that... and I bet they hit better than 0-35 collectively too...
Here's one for today
Josh Towers is winning 3-2 headed to B8 @ Yankees
has thrown 71 pitches - 50 of them strikes
out he goes - in comes Gas Can Scott "Suck-my-D*ck" Weis who walks the 8th hitter, 800-year-old Tino Matinez who is then replaced by Tony Womack on the bases
to show that was NO fluke - "Suck-my-Dick" Weis goes 3-0 on Cano who then bunts over Womack so the top of the lineup can get at least 2 shots to get the tying run home
Unless Towers is hurt (and if he is - sorry John Gibbons - my apologies) WHY take out Towers after only 71 pitches, 50 of them strikes?

Phils Manager should be on this list. In top 5th Giants intentionally walk #8 hitter to load the bases for pitcher Lidle. Lidle is a career .200 hitter which is good for a pitcher but there are better hitters on bench so why not pinch hit with bases loaded unless you're hoping to get additional innings out of Lidle. Instead they bat Lidle, he makes an out and then they bring in a new pitcher to start next inning. Seems pretty dumb to me but I'm not complaining, I'm on the Giants.
Reds UP 3-2 headed to B8
Ortiz gets the first 2 hitters out and has only thrown 97 pitches. he is a righty and here comes right handed hitter Marcus Giles
so of course Jerry Narron take out Ortiz and replaces him with Dave Weathers who gives up a triple and game tying double and now we are tied at 3 headed to B9
great move Narron - hope you are gone at season's end - IDIOT!

Nats UP 1-0 in B8
Livan has thrown 109 pitches and is due up w/runners on 1st and 2nd w/2 out. Frank lets him hit - and what do you know - Livan singles in a run to make it 2-0 then Byrd clears the bases making it 5-0 with a double
congrats Frank - this moved work
BUT
talk about Bonehead moves!
You PH for Livan because in T9 you bring in the league leader in saves - Chad Cordero
NEVER confuse successful moves and bonehead moves - in this case they were the same but still a BONEHEAD move
If Livan makes an out and the Nats are up 1-0 headed to T9 and they lose the game 2-1 we are GRILLING Frank - and rightfully so

and Frank leaves in Livan to pitch T9 and what a shock - a tired Livan (high pitch count and running the bases) gives up a 2-run BOMB to Cabrera
Yo, Frank - time to get Cordero in the game so you can get this one over in time to get the "Early Bird Special" at Coco's!
he brought in Stanton but at least he got out Livan - a few hitters too late
