No, he isn't. It just looks like it when every bad decision is blown up and highlighted. Lou is the best Cubs manage in a long, long, long time and it's annoying to hear people freak out over every little thing he does. I know it's the basis for every message board, but it's hypersensitive overreaction. And you're right, I probably shouldn't read any of these threads, since I already know what is inside. It looks like he's a bad manager when he makes a ridiculously long string of consecutive bad decisions and we highlight them by pointing them out? How else do you judge managing? His managing yesterday was worse than someone picking players to use at random. In the case of Miles, he picked the worst non-pitcher on the team to use. He screwed up the use of every single reliever, and he went through quite a few of them.
