Managerial Mistakes

Colorado closer Huston Street(notes) might be trying to shoulder the blame for Monday's season-ending loss to the Phillies, but in a baseball rarity, the rest of the world isn't placing him solely in the crosshairs.No, the honor of that spot would also belong to Rockies manager Jim Tracy, who is taking plenty of heat for keeping the righthanded Street around to face the sinistrophobic...

Was pointed towards a little nugget of joy by Tom C. of Phillies Breakdown yesterday, found on Huston Street’s MLBlog.

Despite the utter dominance of the winners in the end results, almost every individual game was close; so tight, indeed, that all four clinching games featured a blown save by the losing...

Yorvit Torrealba would have been the story today if Huston Street didn’t do his best Brad Lidge impression. According to Jayson Stark that double made Torrealba 20 for his last 33 with runners in scoring position the last two months.
