Good grief man...your fredi bias has sunk as low as possible if you believe what you just said, regarding fredi. I somewhat agree on hart but I'm gonna have a wait and see approach there until next season to see if some things he's doin are coming together...rite now I'm confused as to what direction he's going.

But back to fredi...he takes a team picked to lose 90-100 games preseason and has them around .500 at the halfway point and beyond. Then these things occur: lose all star 1B; lose reliable closer; trade away team leaders and offensive threats (uribe, KJ); young "studd" catcher sucks; trade away new closer; trade young mid rotation arm; this is not to mention losing the best reliever in the game the day before the season starts. Fredi has his flaws, as you like to point out, but what is about to take place these last 2 months are t going to be on him. I think hart knew this was coming and that's why he went ahead and extended him. That way there'll be no doubt or rumors to cause issues in the club house.
