Read MoreRamon Martinez…The Joke’s On Us I know, even if we had tied, who would then go on to play short in the bottom of the ninth? If that’s the rationale, we’re all in deep doo-doo. Nutty as it may be, I kind of thought the consensus was not to get swept in L.A.If I were to advise Jerry Manuel, I’d say, “Jerry, don’t you think it would be a great idea to put up Sheffield w/ Pagan on base and two men...
