Even recognizing the abomination that Cairo on the roster is, and Cairo batting second, I’m not convinced that Cairo, en masse, represents a more serious error than Sexson, the Bedard trade, or the Soriano/Ramirez trade. The problem with Bavasi isn’t his inexplicable mismanagement of the #24 and #25 spots on the roster, but his terrible management of spots on the roster much higher up than that.

I always thought Mark McLemore would make a good manager one day. What is he doing now?

I know he does some broadcast work --- and coincidently this just popped up today ....

As far as the original graph, I though of McGovern’s “1000%” support of Eagleton before he dumped him off the ticket in 1972. I’m assuming most people aren’t old enough/weren’t born yet/aren’t political junkies enough to remember that.

Maybe he could build us a big pirate ship for center field with canons. And a Motor cross track for the moose and his quad, and a retirement home for all the vetrans that come here to die. Oh Ty, you make fantasy fun….

68: How true — only Greyhound would have to loan him a convoy of buses to line the streets around “the Safe” for when he welcomes the fans back to meet their “new” team!

she would be that fiery kind of manager that everyone says they want

Damn…I watched a couple of Silver Bullet games when they were on ESPN years ago, but totally missed Angie’s “Tonya Harding” moment!

BTW…am I the only one who thought it was pretty f’in sad that the Silver Bullets wound up being made to look like a promotional gimmick rather than the flagship team for a women’s professional baseball league like they should have been?

If Ty Pennington got the job, we would have the coolest clubhouse ever!

Ty Willingham?

And how ’bout Ty Pennington for GM? Sure, he’s never run a baseball team before…but at the rate that he and his crew build houses, he could completely rebuild this team in about a week!
