Los Angeles Angels @ Boston Red Sox GameThread, Jul 30, 2008 4:05 PM PDT

Why isn’t Howie batting second? Why does Kotch sit against lefties even though he kills them? Why does GMJ play over Rivera? Why did Napoli sit so much before he got hurt?

Answer: It more fun to make it harder on yourself to win by not putting your best lineup out there ever day.
