How about a little love fest here for Mr. Rickey Renteria? He's had this team at .500 ball for quite some time, in part because he salvaged Castro and Rizzo from last years debacle. Does he make quirky moves - especially re the bullpen? Sure! But he is a rookie manager and looks like another choice that TheoJed got right.
I like the guy quite a bit and he doesn't seem to get much praise in these parts, and at this point it's well deserved.
That's it. I wish this post had more substance but there you go...
