Tuesday morning tidbits

Well game 5 was rained out last night, leading to a more rested Mets staff being able to go today. It will be interesting to see if all the rest the Tigers are getting is going to affect them positively or negatively. With a young team like that you may have wanted to use the energy and get them back on the field as quick as possible.

Two management decisions yesterday..Lou Pinella found a job with the Cubs and Ken Macha was fired. I have actully very much enjoyed Pinella's work on FOX and was hoping he'd decide that broadcasting was a bit less stresfful and therefore worth it. OH And Pinella wants ARod on his team..who doesn't, except the Yankees. I'm not sure why Macha was fired after Oakland gave him that three year deal, I don't see Beane bringing in someone with lots of experience to replace him but we'll see.
