If you've got something that's been irritating you tell her now. Your already up #### creek so you may as well just use it to your advantage and have a pre-festivus airing of grievances
It's time to stop sugar coating it: Ron Washington is a fool.

He's the star of that Moneyball commercial though.
But there was nothing but a late slide.
That is how I umped and the rule(s) interpreted by others as well
Needs far more than one X.
Is this legal?
All I remember about that series is being asleep when Joe Carter hit his famous home run.
Had I known that this would be the last playoff appearance for the Jays for the next 20 years, I probably would've talked my parents into letting me stay up to watch the end.
Seems to me if it was on the checklist, it hardly counts as unexpected. Or maybe that's the joke...
????
Seriously. This.
He bats his best hitter 8th. He intentionally walks people with nobody on base. He doesn't understand that the goal on offense is to NOT give away outs.
He's a fool, got a good team to manage, and got lucky after that.
Including tonight.
It must be that finding the two skill sets in the same guy is very difficult. Because the guys I'd say are good in-game tacticians seem to be lousy in dealing with actual people. And vice versa.
Bob Brenly says hi and welcomes Ron to the club.

In the bottom of the fourth, Yankee manager Bob Lemon made possibly his most controversial decision of the series. Graig Nettles led off the inning with a double. After Hooton retired the next two batters, he intentionally walked Larry Milbourne to face John (there was no designated hitter in this series). At that moment, Lemon decided to pinch-hit Bobby Murcer out of desperation for offense. As ABC cameras clearly showed, John could not believe the move and paced up and down the Yankee dugout in disbelief. Murcer flied out to end the inning. In his autobiography, "T.J.: My 26 Years in Baseball" (1991), John revealed that before the game, Lemon and team owner George Steinbrenner settled on the following strategy: get the lead early in the game and then protect the lead with the bullpen. John observed that such preconceived strategies, are impractical in baseball because of the sport's many unpredictable variables that come into play during a game.
In the fifth, George Frazier, who relieved John, gave up an RBI single to Ron Cey and a two-run triple to Pedro Guerrero. Frazier would take the loss and become the second pitcher to lose three games in a World Series (the first being Lefty Williams, a member of the Chicago White Sox team that threw the 1919 World Series).
The Yankee bullpen further collapsed in the sixth. Ron Davis issued one-out walks to pitcher Hooton and Davey Lopes. Bill Russell singled home Hooton, then Lopes and Russell pulled a double steal. Davis walked Steve Garvey intentionally, and then gave up an RBI force-out to pinch-hitter Derrel Thomas. After Dusty Baker reached on an error by Nettles, loading the bases again, Guerrero singled in two more runs. Guerrero would cap a five-RBI night, and the Dodgers' World Series win, by blasting a solo home run in the eighth.
a) he considered PHing and changed his mind?
b) a ruse?
How much do you waste by this? Is Holland the guy he wants in next? What if sits down and now can't come in later?
Okay, now you're just indicating you don't like him, which renders the rest of your judgement suspect. I'd far rather him cheer than stand there like he's overseeing a burial (the way most managers do).
I have it even worse. I'm too old to say the Jays haven't made the playoffs in my lifetime, but not old enough to remember a damn thing about it.
Who might actually fall into this category? Bobby Valentine? Earl Weaver?
Bobby Cox might be the power/speed type leader here, with skills on both sides.
The girlfriend of Corey Hart.
No, not THAT Corey Hart.
Larry Dierker maybe.

Actual People? As opposed to?
A: Tony Plush.
I liked posted 436 response to this... made me chuckle a little.
Davey Johnson. Billy Martin. These guys might have had more problems with ownership than with their players, though.
It was a Saturday night? I guess my parents ruled, deals were made, there was an understanding that we would get to watch the WS to its end.
He's the only one who remembers Nolan Ryan's birthday every year.
It was a time of gold and goodness, when the Jays could trade for David Cone and Rickey! and people would complain about their financial advantages. Plus you could get a footlong from the in-stadium McDonalds for (IIRC) $3. I thought it would never end. The Interbrew years pretty much killed my love of baseball, if it wasn't for Ichiro! and my sister, I'm not sure I'd be a baseball fan today.
That being said, being a Jays fan would probably be worse without memories of WAMCO and the championships. I just hope they can scratch their way to competitiveness soon.
IT'S THE WORLD ####### SERIES!
Any of you out there with kids better have them up with you right now.
I have failed as a father. My boys don't like baseball much. I take them to games, it is on TV often. They just don't like it. Sigh.
EDIT: So they are asleep.
EDIT: then gets called out on a worse one.
34.
11 week old, 2 1/2 year old girls. I don't think so, I'll tell them about the bullpen phone hijinx, it'll be a great story.
Given the fact that the NLCS was one of the best playoff series ever, this is understandable.
What do they like, tea parties with imaginary animals?
I also love that Berkman is not slow. He moves pretty good.
There are reasons I am Bitter :)
