Good thing Garner didn't pitch hit for the mega-slumping Ensberg with a runner in scoring position on 2nd, since he's more valuable than Backe.

So in the 7th, tied 0-0 with 2 outs and nobody on, Garner pinch hits for his pitcher who has thrown a shutout with just 100 pitches, because he has to play to win now. Then in the 8th, down 0-1 with 2 on and just 1 out, he doesn't pinch hit for the horribly slumping Ensberg, because he needs him for defense?
Garner deserves all the criticism that he is going to get. It wasn't his bat that went cold, but the logical consistency in his managerial moves is lacking.

Looks like big celebrations are gonna take place in Chicago tonight...
