I am not above that.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I wonder how much money Huston Street saves being his own agent.
Sports Agency always seemed like a huge racket to me. I went to a small-town law school and there were a ton of people who were obsessed with trying to be agents despite the fact that it seems insanely difficult to get into that field (basically like any law field, except even worse).

Nah, SF had everyone's goodwill in 2010 preventing yet another Phillies WS appearance.

Bochy's been getting a lot more of that kind of reaction the latter part of last season, especially in the playoffs. He's pretty much been acknowledged as a shoe-in for HOF now.

There's guys already on the waiting list. I dont know if Dominican was being funny or what, but he's got no authority to be giving away spots!
Anyways, Feb 25th is the deadline then im giving the last few slots to the top 2 guys on the list.

I have no idea how Terry isn't in the bottom five, he's a terrible manager. Runs pitchers into the ground.
Also I don't think Bochy is the best, Maddon gets more out of less than anybody else in the bidness, and Showalter is always great.

They felt bad for him since he can't even say a sentence without struggling.

I'm amazed he can speak at all, what with Ruben Tejada's dick wedged permanently in his mouth.
I've seen Girardi too many times make a pitching change when he didn't need to and blow up in his face.
He could be up there.

The Mets CP extravaganza since Terry took over certainly is up there as well. Ned Yost is also right up there.

Never forget Bobby Cox pulling Kimbrel with 2 outs in NLDS 2010 Game 3.

Wasn't that always expected though? Cox pulling Kimbrel was not a normal situation.
Please don't. Why must you do this

Buck Showalter n Joe Maddon are the real bosses.
NLDS 2010...? Not ringing any bells. Nope.
Maybe this is the year he finally breaks out. He showed good signs in the minors last year and he's still only 25.

Baseball time is best time. Just seeing players report is awesome. Its slowly getting back to normal.

Except the time he didn't, and it cost him a WS title. I wonder if that was what caused him to start to seriously ride his starters longer, he wasn't too terrible yet with that while with SF. Though who knows if having Righetti there had an influence on his SF tenure.

The tangible difference between the best manager and the worst manager is so small that I don't even see the point in arguing about it.

I think you underestimate how much a terrible manager can hurt a team's chances. The difference between a solid manager and a great manager is probably small though.

Yeah managing in game decisions is a really big deal. People minimize the impact of having a good one and they really shouldn't. Choosing the right time to pull a pitcher, to bunt, squeeze, suicide, bastard pull, H/R, etc etc. These are variables you need someone who knows what he's doing to account for.

IDK if it's just me, but Rizzo seems like he got jacked over the offseason.
Expecting 40 HR's if he can stay healthy

I honestly expect him to have an MVP caliber year. If you guys can get production of of Baez, Alcantara, and get Javy into the bigs and you'll do some great things.

May the Schwartz be with you
Could be worse, at least there was no infield fly during that game.
