Gil Must Go: Gil overmanages. No Shamsky, no win.

Gil, what the hell was this lineup?  Why isn’t Shamsky playing?  He’s 27 years old, he can play on a Sunday.  And Gliding Ed Charles was back.  Yay.  Sad.

Meanwhile the Reds have Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Lee May and Alex Johnson.  No wonder the Mets lost!

Cardwell had nothing.  5 runs in 3 and a third.

This one was a stinker.  55-41, you’d have signed up for that.
