    I said a couple pages back that the only manager more insufferable than Kapler is Maddon.  The guy is the smartest guy in every room he's ever been in...just ask him.

    Also, he is incredibly overrated.  He has had some really good players right in their prime on his most successful teams.
    Someone has to be the smartest in the room so maybe he might be. He has taken to historically weak franchises to the playoffs an awful lot.  You can’t argue with his success

    He’s won 1 world series but doesn’t shut the fuck up. He’s a tool.

    He also just got the boot because he led a wildly underachieving team who seemed to give up on him. Sounds like just what the Phillies need

    He went to the playoffs four years in a row prior. I’ll take a prick who makes the playoffs four years in a row. I’m sure you don’t mind that Aaron boone is a douche because the yanks are in the playoffs.

    With one of the highest payrolls in the game and a few home grown stars. He should have.  I think he's wildly overrated and incredibly annoying.  We'll see where he ends up.

    I don't think Boone is a douche at all.

    I don’t find Maddon as annoying as most. The fact that Cliff hates him so much is a feather in his cap as far as I’m concerned. Haha

    AGREED.

    Regardless, I'm indifferent to Joe Maddon, I'll take it or leave it. My only knock on him is he's 65. The hole in Cliff's argument is he's only one World Series, like that's terrible, when I would take Joe Girardi as well - who as also "only" won one title. Really, I'll take any Joe.

    But girardi doesn’t act like he’s gods gift to baseball.

    He also won another pennant, which counts for something.

    No matter who the manager is, though, won't be the difference in this team making the playoffs. Their only option to even think they have a shot next year is to spend, spend, spend. There's no other alternative.

    Something new out there?

    Without even considering it before, I'm starting to think if Girardi goes anywhere it's probably the Cubs.

    No, the lack of anything out there makes me think he's staying.

    The Cubs are  Girardi's number one choice for sure, it's his childhood team, he played for them, etc., but not sure he is their choice. Seems like they may want more of the David Ross, no experience kinda guy...

    I've always loved Gelb's cover photo, or whatever it's called. As great as CBP is, it would've been so cool to have it right down in the heart of the city

    someone brought this interesting stat up the other day to me. The Phillies were the last team in MLB this season to be below 500 this season when they lost to the Nats about a week ago.
