Buck needs to wake-up. First, do not take out O'day for Johnson in the ninth -- history repeats itself. Second, When Godzilla aka Ibanez batted for the first pinch hit HR - Buck should have walked him. Yet, Buck pitched to him again -- HR. Look at the guy (Ibanez) , he probably eats baseballs for candy! Third, find a DH tonight send Jim "Mr. Out" Thome home in a cab. The guy is washed up. DH 's are supposed to hit, makes things happen. Sad for Gonzalez, what a great pitcher!
