I have my fingers crossed. Mr. Magoo et al could always screw it up. They could take her honesty and straightforwardness as an unwillingness to submit and rule her out. Or, she could just be checking out if they’re actually incompetent,and when she discovers that it is indeed true, not take the job.

I actually think Ng is too smart to take this job. She might go through the interview process to gain experience in it, but she has to know she is going to be under the microscope as the first woman in this position. With that in mind she might opt not to put herself in a position where Howard, Chuck and ownership get too much say in her decisions.

I couldn’t disagree with this more. Unless there’s another equally-qualified female candidate flying well below the radar, Kim Ng will be the first female GM *somewhere* – she’s been prepared for this for years. And as has been stated here many, many times, the M’s are one of the plum GM jobs in the league. She’ll demand the same level of control every other candidate will expect. If she receives it, I can’t imagine her not taking the job if it’s offered.

she’s going to tell them Bloomquist should be about #100 on a Top #100 Offseason Question list, and then she’ll tell them why, and Armstrong and Lincoln will probably stare, remember to close their mouths, and then have to decide whether that feeling is fright or excitement.

I would laugh for 24 hours if I could see their expressions.

No, she’s going through the interview process to interview THE MARINERS. It goes two ways, you know…

I’m still rooting for Ng.

Ng doesn’t need to go through the process for the sake of experience, she’s done it before. That’s not to say she would definitely take the job, she may not have made up her mind on that yet. But I rather don’t think she would interview if she wasn’t willing to at least consider it.
