Fire Grady Little

[I Are Baboon]

and hire Lou Pinella.

:Phone: <----- Princess on the phone making it happen.

Sorry Babs. I love you man, but Lou is going to be OURS!

[PissedPrincess]

They won't fire Grady until a new GM is hired.:angry:

I know this has nothing to do with this post, but I have to laugh. On Sports radio, some guy is screaming Damon Huard to the courtesy phone...Damon Huard please pick up the white courtesy phone. :rotf:

[I Are Baboon]

It would appear so. :cool: Lou is one helluva manager. He has brought success to every team he's managed. He's entertaining, too. :)


EDIT: Responding to Julie.

[PissedPrincess]

See? That's what I want. A manager with some damn personality! Not some country bumkin. Someone with FIRE! RAGE! INSANITY! :idea: Where do I apply!

Bobby Valentine is definitely insane. I'd love to see him get another shot at a "real" baseball team.

But, if you hate Grady's lineup switches, you'll REALLY hate BV.

[PissedPrincess]

Really? I didn't know that about BV. Stay away BV. STAY AWAY! We already have an everyday line-up change meister here.

BTW, Bob Brenly (who won a WS last year, if you recall) does it too. As does Bob Boone.

It's not uncommon. In fact, according to Bill James, it's often the sign of a good manager. And no, I am NOT making this up!

[PissedPrincess]

OMG! Not the Bill James again? John Henry keeps telling everyone that according to Bill James when a team loses 23 games by one run it's simply bad luck.

Julie is right about Brenley. He dose switch lineups a lot but nobody is better at that than ol Booby V I miss him already.

Last year, when the D'backs won the WS, Brenly had something like 110 different lineups in 126 games. That's the stat I saw. If it works for him, who am I to complain?
