Since we have HFA at least through the NLDS, Waino and Miller at Busch's #'s are top shelf are they not?

Mike Matheny didn't build that farm system--Luhnow and Mozeliak did. If he would have taken Mujica out after he shat his pants for the first half of September or never put Boggs in the bizarre Royals rain delay game then HFA is already wrapped up.
Barry Switzer won a Super Bowl. Ron Washington took two teams to the World Series. Dusty Baker took one.
Matheny is an absolute goddamned moron. He's a really nice guy, but he tries to hard to get his players meaningless accomplishments, like wins, and he sticks with ineffective players (Kozma, Mujica, Boggs) far too long.
Regarding HFA: We beat Halladay and Lee on the road, so anything can happen, good or bad. The sample size is too small to make predictions with any degree of confidence.
