Bmr31 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 These guys have underachieved for three straight seasons, sitting there while the Central Division dominance was tranferred from Cleveland to Minnesota. The expected and planned for White Sox Reign never occurred. Too bad these players passion for JM couldn't be translated into their on-field play. I don't think it is so much JM than it is the country club lifestyle JM allows to occur in the clubhouse win or lose. Exactly. Also, lets not forget these players were making these comments AFTER they knew JM was gone. MB is just worried someone might actually MANAGE him...........this guys turning out to be just like Frank.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a manager that isn't going to take losing to the Tigers 2 out of 3 times AT HOME and being swept by the Tigers on the road like it's a lost/swept series to the A's or Yankees.

Yes and again, I respect Jm as a man. I admire that he can be so relaxed and easy going. However, that just isnt a good match for a major league manager, with a team of underachievers.

Jerry would be a perfect bench coach. He is the ideal personality to be the calming voice on the bench while things are going on, to bring perspective and/or a different point of view to the manager.

southsider2k5 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 He did fine as such for a WS Champion Florida Marlins team The fact of the matter is some people aren't meant to be bosses. He had his calling and he decided to try managing and that wasn't his thing. IF he is going to manage again it either has to be a Yankees type group of all, all-stars, or a Montreal type group of kids that need no motivation.

Well s***, if he doesnt have to motivate, whats the point of paying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
