Holy smokes, now that was a poorly-managed ball game. The Los AngelesAngels kept their World Series dreams alive for one more night, coming away with a 7-6 win over the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the ALCS Thursday night in what turned out to be a helluva baseball game. After striking early with a 4-0 lead off A.J. Burnett from the very first inning, the Angels waited until the seventh to blow...

Watching Mike Scioscia and Joe Girardi at work last night reminded me of one of the hardest things in managing: doing nothing. Anybody who has managed anything, even a Little League team or a Rotisserie baseball roster, knows that feeling: you've set your team, things go well, then they start getting tight, and you feel like you need to be doing something . Pull some levers, make something happen....
All year, Yankees fans like me have seen Joe Girardi use a short leash on relief pitchers. Game 3 was just another example of that, but he definitely went overboard in the 11th inning. David Robertson recorded the first two outs of the inning in 11 pitches, but Girardi opted for Alfredo Aceves to face Howie Kendrick. Kendrick singled and Jeff Mathis hit a walk-off double. Robertson was the sixth reliever...
