pookie23 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 why would u not want a winner for a manager??? the mets suck...u should be happy with anyone who would want to be the manager of that shit team...Just because he licks Torre's left testicle doesn't mean he's a winner...don't mean shit actually. Just because he wears f'n pinstripes doesn't mean he's ordained by the hand of God - gimme a f'n break! Like I said before, if he hasn't been HIRED after 10 interviews - something's wrong. If he's hired somehow by the Mets - I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookie23 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 I heard Steve Phillips talking about this and basically he was saying that he definitely has the resume for it but he has to sharpen up his interview skills....he doesn't do a good job at all of selling himself even though, he may be qualifiedHe had 10 TIMES to do it! My skills would've be sharpened after the 2nd one! There's got to be more to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he wears f'n pinstripes doesn't mean he's ordained by the hand of God - gimme a f'n break! very true....now I heard a mention of Kurt Gibson cause Lenny Dykstra recommended him....it's all a fucking mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebdead Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 perfect game through six.....I still cant believe the sox mounted a comebackA "comeback" would imply actually tying the score or taking the lead. Neither of which was accomplished by Boston. Had Ortiz' shot been about 5 inches higher it would've been tied. Oh well. Good game, though! See you fuckers around 11:30 pm tonight.

Codica3 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Well well, looks like everyone is on the Moose bandwagon again.Just for the record, I think it's clear that I've always kept my faith in the Moose..

nomembername Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 wtf is the matter with you people...it has nothing to do w/ jumping on the moose bandwagon...the guy has been pitching well lately and he came through in a big spot last night...it doesn't matter who the fuck it was, if anyone came out pitching like that against one of the best offenses in baseball they should get credit...

I'm just clearly stating that when Moose was going through a tough time in the begining of the season All of the bandwagon Yankee fans were trashing him and writing him off. Now Moose pitches a gem and everyone of those fans are right back on. Theres no denying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Moose pitches a gem and everyone of those fans are right back on. Theres no denying that.I think that's true in most cases when you have a pitcher with high expectations pitching so poorly for a while....obviously you're going to get on his case and people are going to start saying things like, "he's washed up" or whatever and he just went ahead and proved them wrong.I'm sure Boston fans are concerned with how Pedro has pitched recently and might say he doesn't have the same stuff as he use to but if he comes back and pitches a gem tomorrow all of that will be thrown out the window...that's just how it goes in any sport....it's all about what have you done for me right now.

kfitz73 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 That's why I'm not all that worried about their pitching. Although the Yanks haven't haven't pitched well this season, their trackrecords indicate that they'll step it up... Until that's not the case anymore, I'm not gonna worry too much...

calebdead Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Actually, the manager isn't responsible for "assembling" a team. It's the GM. So, maybe he should be kissing Bob Watson's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck was instrumental in the building of that team. make no mistake about it..... the 2004 Texas rangers is a testament to that. Best move the Rangers did this year was to unload that primadonna A-Shit that didnt get along with Buck. They moved from mediocrity to a contender in just under one season. That in itself speaks volumes. Its the manager who has to make decisions on how the team plays for every single game of the season. GMs get to spend frivously to make something happen...more like a lottery. The yamkees are a perfect example..... Weaver... Contreras..Loaiza... Javier...Benitez.... etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that ultimately it's the GM that has the final say (in most cases, there are exceptions). But, I don't think it was the Arod trade that catipulted the Rangers into contention. After all, Soriano didn't exactly have a great year. I just think that alot of their players matured and they brought in some good talent. John Hart has done well with that team. But, yeah, a manager like Showalter has alot of influence, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
