This could be me, but I think Francona managed the Tribe into a loss tonight. Otero was pitching pretty well, and while going to Beliveau to get Cano was ok...then he gets pulled for Nick Goody...I would have IBBed Cano and faced the next batter, using Beliveau and Goody if he had gotten into trouble.  As it turned out, Goody was the trouble, and while sometimes it happens... I think it could have been avoided.

For all the kvetching about this... I don't think some of this is that bad, though it does try to make people responsible for themselves, and we simply can't have that.

Well, this is impressive, coming from Cass Sunstein, but a lot of it is correct... if only the GOP could, you know, do it...

I don't know... this could be me, but the show has only sort of been about talent; it's always been as much of a popularity contest as anything, and people tend to vote for people they like, which is often other people just like them... plus, no one would watch if the panel made the only determinations now, would they?
