Harold's Leg Lift

It went well.

Every member of that scumbag Astros organization should have received a lifetime ban.

Elite defender Danny Mendick.

Shocking.

Dan O'Dowd said it best on MLB Network the other day. He said the current market inefficiency is wisdom. He said there is plenty of "knowledge" in the game but a severe lack of wisdom and teams should start hiring these guys that other teams have kicked to the curb. I couldn't agree more.

They're trying like all hell to resign him.

No but it should be. Plausible deniability.

I don't want Hinch for lots of reasons. I haven't heard Francona's name as a possibility but if he is that choice is a win/win.

Your comment: I think he'll be good. He'll run the bullpen correctly, play the guys who are supposed to play and hit guys where they're supposed to hit. Pretty simple. I do think he'll be good but I also said he comes with too much baggage. The guy I think they should hire is Bochy.

Where did I say I wanted LaRussa?

Hahn wants a guy he can control. He wants a yes man. That's all Hinch would be. A suit dressed as a manager.

It's not a rumor.

It's not.

I'm not the least bit surprised. Fans can talk themselves into anything.

If he were truly against it (he wasn't) he could have started by not being a smug dickbag when questioned about it. He could have refused to answer the questions or given non-answers which would have led to more questions and possibly an investigation which he would have wanted if he was really against it (he wasn't). He handeled the situation in the worst possible way it could have been handeled. He's a weasel.

Jack Leiter was F 93-97 cb 77-79 sl 82-84 today. He's my top guy in the draft.

I love Crochet as much as anyone but trusting a guy with 6 professional innings in an elimiantion playoff game is not a good plan. And game 3 was just the straw that broke the camels back. There were lots of bad decisions leading up to that.

Renteria wasn't making those decisions. It was Hahn.

Hahn fucked up down the stretch. Jerry wants someone who won't make those same mistakes.

It is definitely LaRussa's job if he wants it.

It's worth nothing. It was barely a 1/3 of a regular season.

Ownership wouldn't let them make trades. They have a new big expensive ballpark to pay for and actually think Lynn and Gallo will help sell tickets next season.
