You beat me to it and with a more apt description. Instead of watching Alice in Wonderland we have Conor in Wonderland. There is a phrase in Yiddish, "Oy Vey Iz Mir" (Oh woe is me) and my entire body starts trembling when I see even a roller go his way. We need a defensive 1st baseman to take his spot in late innings.
Give Ivan Rodriguez great credit. He outfoxed a greatplayer in Orlando Hudson and I'm sure Hudson is still kicking himself. Why they were bunting when a base hit would have almost guaranteed a run and Detroit's pitchers are the weakest in the American league, was a very bad call on Melvin's part. Especailly considering that Hudson is a very weak bunter.
So, what do I think...I think Kudos for a pro's pro in Rodrigues. His team struggling he showed leadership and a will to win and you take your hat off to him and move on. You orgive Hudson because Hudson is still a very classy player who will always regret being fooled like that and embarrassed but a little humility from time to time is good for all of us.
