This is why, every time T-Bag screamed at me to "vote EARly and vote OFten" I screamed back at the tv that no, I wouldn't. I also refused to vote an injured Shane Victorino for the 30th man. Give them the three days off.

But I do think he's wrong. This game does matter. To me, the entire Red Sox series was a big flashing neon sign that said, "You Want Homefield Advantage in the World Series". If the game matters, who else do you want on the mound other than Halladay? It's nice to see Dubee is concerned that Halladay's innings pitched count though. It's just too bad he has absolutely no control over it other than to lobby other managers. Yep, there's absolutely nothing he can do to affect the number of innings Halladay pitches this year. It's sad, really. If there was a clever way to insinuate that Rich Dubee is on drugs, I would use it here but there obviously isn’t so I’m stuck. But I do think he’s wrong. This game does matter.
