<<he can't possibly be so stupid that he can't learn from that boneheaded blunder>> Mr. Shread, you are obviously not a Sox fan. The (non)move by Grady last night, while the most visible and damaging of his stupid decisions, is hardly out of character for him. In just this post season, there is the three strike-em-out / throw-em-out double plays in three days (so clearly he doesn't "learn"); there is leaving Burkett in against the A's in Game 4 as he was getting shelled (so again, clearly no capacity to "learn); and there was the absolutely mindboggling set of moves against the A's in Game 1 that started out as Trot Nixon batting against Ricardo Rincon (who was fading after 28 pitches) and ended up as Adrian Brown (who was on the team as a pinch runner and can't hit minor-league pitching) against Chad Bradford (one of the 5 best relievers in the AL) (proving that in addition to not being able to "learn" he is incapable of thinking 1-2 obvious steps ahead) through it all, he has been completely unapologetic, simply saying "that's the way we've done it all year". that is the functional equivalent of Kevin Landis sticking by his tech stocks as they were cratering all around him, missing numbers, etc. so no, Grady cannot learn. he frankly has no business managing a little league team, let alone one of the 3-4 most talented teams in the major leagues. Cheers
