Then people would have said he fired up Detroit.
Face it, many on the board won't be happy til we get a cliche spouter. You know: We take it one game at a time, we will try our hardest to beat a darn good Detroit team.
Amazing to me but whatever.
I would MUCH rather have that, then Ozzie. I would rather have a guy who says whatever he has to say to the media, and behind closed doors, says different stuff. I'm going to step into the realm of football here, but some of my favorite coaches (Mike McCarthy, Bill Belicheck) so this all the time. They say what the media wants/needs to hear, and then they motivate their team behind closed doors. This is what I want. Now, maybe this is more difficult to do in baseball, because you play every day etc. etc. but a manager who keeps out of the media headlines as much as possible is something I like.
