Alright, alright JUNE FOOLS. Now tell the truth how many of you came in on this thinking your prayers have been answered and Hal grew a pair of balls??
mrmel, nice try. The media is sitting on this one......just waiting.....so they could report it first. But, I like your form.....ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
Honestly Mel as soon as I saw the thread my 1st thought was "Its a little late for April fools". No lie. But..............................it was a nice thought.
I was once going to start a thread titled " Cashman bitten by a snake" then inside the box "Don't worry the snake will live!" Got to admit I was hoping this thread was true, Maybe the Steins had a bad day and took it out on Cashman.
...I can envision the meeting between the Steins and Cashman after last season; Hal; "Brian, you realize that your contract is up, right?" Cashman; "Yes" Hal; And you do realized we've missed the PS 2 years in a row, right?" Cashman; "Yes" Hal; "And you do realize they we gave you a blank checkbook and you still managed to fuck this roster up, right?" Cashman; "Yes" ...long pause. Hal; "OK, me and Hank talked it over and since you've done such an inept job so far, we're gonna reward you with a new contract so that maybe this time you can straighten the roster out....Is 3 more years enough ?" Cashman; "Yes, 3 years would be nice...are free hookers included?" Hal; "Of course". [Hal, Hank, and Cashman get up from the table high-fiving each other]
Pathetic thing is that may well have been how it actually went! I think the best part of the Katzenjammer Kids went down Georges leg.
Speaking of getting fired I see the Padres fired Bud Black today Good baseball man just went through too many changes with the Padres cheapskate Brass and probably had no chance with the current regime. . I've got a feeling that Robin Ventura may be next. With all the deals the White Sox made they were pre-season picks to succeed, not going in the planed direction.
Every time I hear that name I think of the quiz," what battery mates shared the name of a popular tool company? And the answer was Black & Decker. The Giants had Bud Black as pitcher & Steve Decker as the catcher.
Honestly, when I saw this OP, I thought this has to be a joke, and it is.......... Hank is lacking the wits and balls to terminate Trashman...... but damn would I love to see the Kids sale out, to a group that will bring many more Dynasties to the Bronx.....as well as The Trashman being picked up by "Waste Management"......
