    He can sunbathe his nads somewhere else.
    Guys is/was a joke.  You are in much better shape w/o him being manager.

    Means nothing without getting rid of Klentak and MacPhail. We have nothing in the minors.

    probably the right decision.  he only had 1 year left on his contract. you basically had to re-up him or fire him.  Lots of veteran manager names being thrown about. not sure how i feel about most of them. Maddon wins but would be grating .  Showalter ehh.    I'd rather go younger than a bunch of these old guys being thrown about. Ibanez is intriguing. I doubt Girardi is coming here.  NBC Sports threw out Utley's name. I doubt he'd be interested at this point but that's a pretty interesting name.

    Gotta assume it will be Buck with his connection to the front office. I like him, but not sure it's the best one.

    If they go young, Raul Ibanez or Carlos Beltran (won't happen, but I think he's going to be good)
    If they go experienced, I have said it 50 times.

    Ibanez would be kinda cool....no idea how he'll be as a manager though

    Gelb is so on point, and it's probably the most concerning scenario of all of them regarding ownership. (Only part I don't agree with is lumping Houston in with LAD, Chicago, New York, and Boston)

    If ownership continues to overrule, and evaluate above, the actual baseball people in place then you have a mess for the indefinite future. You can only hope that Middleton has the balls to spend like Dead Steinbrenner because that's the only possible option that can save them now. That's the only positive in all this - that he's (maybe) willing to spend. And apparently he listens to Angelo Fucking Cataldi. Christ. Pray we don't have Dan Snyder on our hands. I'm not happy at all.

    Big win yesterday. Was down at the navy yard in the morning and there was a solid tailgate before 9. Was pretty impressed. 

    Also, I can be a temple fan as in the spring I will be an employee as an adjunct professor. Poor kids.

    Both funny comments, Wobbie.

    Nobody wants SunPower-Nuts as their manager
