And who knows Michael he may very well get just as lucky. By that I mean, maybe his team will do just enough that it succeeds.
So are you actually saying that no other manager would have done the same kind of job as Girardi did last season had they managed the team. Or is Joe the ONLY manager who could have pulled that feat off with the team he had? As far as the move the idiot manager made in the D'backs/Rockies game, I'm sure it was just as dumb as the many Giradi makes. I'll tell you what, Lets just agree to disagree. I'll agree that you don't want to agree with me & you can disagree that you want to agree with me but disagreeing with me is more fun.
Normally I'm pretty closed mouthed about things but the other day in the store I saw a guy wearing a Rays Hat on backwards, (pet peeve) and I remarked to him that his team was going the same direction as his hat. Dude mumbled something and walked away. There was one Redneck at the American Legion who had a Rays Jersey with his name on it, I congratulated him on making the team and asked what he was doing in the bar while his "Team Mates" were at the Trop playing baseball. There are many bad features at the Trop but one thing for sure, you can always get a seat Yankee & Red Sox games excepted.
...but if Collins had skippered the Yanx last year, it's a safe bet he would have made the same moves Joe did.
Regardless of content, that was one very well written manifesto - (if you want to call it that), worthy of printing in the NY Times....It does contain plenty of truths-ouch..! ......still the aches and pains of last year, seem to familiar this year...!
There hasn't been a Santa, Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy in 20 years...! Santa got mugged and sleigh jacked in south central L.A. quit some time ago, The Easter Bunny well, I shot it myself, and BBQ'd it for Easter Dinner, (rather tasty too)...and the Fairy got shot in what was thought to be a "Home Invasion robbery"..
Yeah there certainly was a lot to deal with last year but hey its a good think we had Mr. Joesph Girardi at the helm because no other manager in baseball could of done what he accomplished. No sir, any other manager would have given up or quit altogether. The Yankees are lucky to have him.
I do get the metaphor, but I'd rather turn lemons into Pie anyday, albeit lemon meringue or creme pie....! Honestly it may be easier turning water into wine, than lemon into lemonade. I never trusted those sidewalk lemon stands ran by kids, my own boys included. I kept getting a visceral one of them may of added some additional (non-appreciated) flavor to them. You know, out in the heat, hot, sweating profusely, a gallon of lemonade drank while waiting for a customer. No where to take a whizz mahn...! (I'll kill the little bastad-I can hear it already). "Fk with my lemonade but don't fk with my cheetohs, and no you can't have one"..!
...umm for about the 3rd time, no one except YOU said that...that's another one of your stick man arguments. You're also the ONLY one referring to him as an "idiot", which is how this all began. But keep referring to him as an "idiot" and I'll keep pointing out how "idiotic" your statement is/was.
I may be the only one saying it but I assure you that many have thought it. Perhaps even you. Its just that no one is SAYING it because they fear your wrath. But not me my friend, hell, my ex-wife hit harder then you.
That's true, I forgot.....................................................................you're from Arkansas.
Hell, I've stared down God's wrath on more than Once Occassion, and I never feared him either.....with all respect to both of you, "the only thing we have to fear is, fear itself".... Carry on...... PS- I've stared down the barrel of more than one gun, and didn't fear that either, besides I know Ron is a good shot, but they haven't made a Sharps Buffalo rifle that can hit me from Georgia to California.....
