I would have liked to see them go for the title rather than back off.

I suppose it has something to do with Pedro Martínez but I still don't like it.

I won't say it's wrong, but I'll stick by "questionable"

In any case I'm still behind them to go all the way this year.

When winnnig doesn't even guarantee the title, it's not worth the risk. No sense gambling on something out of your team's control.

And heck, they did win. Imagine what a boost it would have been had their bench players sealed the title. There was way more upside to giving the starters the rest than making Nomar hobble out there for a game that's only semi-meaninful.

They should have just looked at the wider picture said "crap, the best National League team is only a middling American League team" and then converted into a AAA team to avoid eventual embarrassment.
