Mariotti Is An Idiot

Manuel, too, can count himself fortunate to be saved by Loaiza after his nonsensical rotation decisions last week. He basically cost the Sox back-to-back losses...

I know a lot of people like to complain about their local columnists. But I would have to nominate Jay Mariotti as the biggest ass of the bunch. He can't even get through a pedestrian column touting Loaiza for the Cy Young without making two or three ridiculous statements.

Look, I criticized Manuel's decision to start Cotts against the Yanks, but how did that make Buerhle lose to the Tigers? I would place that blame on Buerhle, not the manager. Its just a stupid statement and par for the course fo Mariotti.
