nvc1019 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 do you think this team came out of spring training ready? if it's going to take a month into the season to be sharp against your own division they are in big trouble...

VAfan Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Kirk Gibson for manager? No way, though I'm not a fan of Robin Ventura's managing. Only reason I'm posting here is my son had a "Kirk Gibson moment" in Little League a couple of years ago. It was a LL playoff game, AAA level, and my son's team was tied going into extra innings. While at bat, he fouled a ball off his instep and fell down in a heap, writhing in pain. He lay their agonizing for a seeming eternity. Then he slowly got up and tried to put a little weight on his foot. He could barely limp around to walk it off. But, he was going to tough it out and step back in the batter's box. He's a lefty, like Gibson. But he's always been the shortest player on his team. On the next pitch, with a man on base, he hit the ball over the center fielder's head!! It wasn't a homer, and because he couldn't run, it was only a double. But it drove in what became the winning run. His team went on to win the championship. And my son had his "Kirk Gibson moment."

greg775 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If Robin has to go someday I'd choose the Twins' former skipper. Why not? And if not him, Leyland or LaRussa if they'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Kirk Gibson got worse and worse as a Manager, making some really bone-headed decisions his last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian26 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think we might be getting set up for the return of Ozzie Guillen If I had to put money down on any one person to be the next Sox manager, whether this year or five years from now, I'd wager on Ozzie.
