Felipe can't be blamed for the way the team has lost games this year but he should be held in high regard to the way the team won the previous 2 years?

I'm not suggesting anyone hold him in high regard, I was questioning the aforementioned claim that he's a "lousy manager".

First of all when Felipe came on board the team was pretty much already intact.

This I'll give you, of course losing Jeff Kent didn't make Alou's job any easier.

Right, because they had just spent the previous season(s) under the brilliant pitching strategist known as Dusty Baker.

Look, I'm not absolving Alou from his share of the blame, far from it. But to portion out the lion's share of blame to him is downright wacky.

75%?? Puh-leaze, no manager is that responsible for a team's record be they wins or losses.
