Does the run of the mill 15 yr old kid watch the World Series anymore? I can’t imagine not watching this no matter the rooting interest.

Gavin would have made the play

Astros in 4. Don’t worry, I’m never right.

Caught the Long interview. Seems like a good communicator and obviously he has a great reputation. Russo tried to end the interview with a “you’re going to get a manager job”. Long laughed it off with a hand wave and they ended it. Until it’s not him, it’s him. Just have to wait until the Series is over.

Eloy- let me show you David Ortiz’s stats including how much money he made. This is you. Learn to enjoy it.

Just don’t touch his head while exploring.

Frank was moody. Could play the diva card at times. That’s ok. 1991-1997, he was Pujols before Pujols.

No manager yet/ Phillies still playing/ Espada out of the running. Kevin Long had a second interview. Do the math. It’s Long unless Reinsdorf does his thing.

Long?

There are too many real candidates for it to be Getz, Ozzie, Willie, Thome. Hire one of them, Hahn (Jerry).

So doesn’t Mike Rodriguez need to explain himself about the Espada report?

He just seems like a guy that deserves a second job. The record in St Louis was good, and he paid his dues for a long time in their very good minor league system. If he’s never getting another manager interview, there must be a story there.

I’ll stick with my original prediction - Espada will take over for Dusty or be the Marlins manager. Still rooting for the Sox to take Quatraro, but it’s the Sox. Anything going on with Mike Shildt? Haven’t heard his name for any of these openings.

If it’s Ozzie, you gotta admit it would at least be entertaining with a chance of being a good outcome. If it’s Chris Getz or Willie Harris, we should all just give up on this team until there’s new ownership. That said, let’s just chill a little bit until they announce a manager. Nobody knows anything right now.

They’re going 11-0. Season ends 11/1/22

Sox must lead the league in fringe rumors that may or may not be true.

I’ve never been, but I’m assuming the feeling is mutual by both fans and the team.

Heyman should be able to get something from the Marlins. If he’s out of the running there, then it’s probably a good sign.

Just feels like Espada is either going to be Astros or Marlins, depending on Baker’s decision. Sox could go young with Grifol or Quatraro or go with former big league managers in Washington or Shildt. Out of the four, anyone but Wash.

Well, he does speak Spanish.

I’m instantly a fan of Alvarado.

Wheeler vs Darvish in about 40 min

Gm 1 tomorrow night.

Ron Washington isn’t coming here to be a bench coach. Chris Getz isn’t going to manage. Hire Shildt or Espada and I’m happy.
