Five people did not have Slapshot on their list. I will assume it was either because A. They did not see it or B. Five women voted and it definitely is not a chick flick

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) I have said over and over again that experience can come in the form of managing in the minors and being a coach in the majors. Mark Parent would be a fine bench coach, if the manager were a veteran that could teach him. But when your manager has literally no managing experience at any level of professional baseball, then the bench coach should be someone with managing/coaching experience at the major league level. I am fine with hiring Robin, but I wish they had someone with some experience as a manager on the bench with him. But, who? Some washed up manager who can't get hired for the #1 anymore? Another team's version of Bevington or Manuel?

The question becomes how they knew to get started. Almost always they get tipped off by someone. There just isn't the budgets anymore to do a full scale hunt for anything. Remember Woodward and Bertsein had Deep Throat Mark Felt

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) Konerko could stop hitting. I have faith in Manto leaving Kong alone unless there is a problem, and trust Kong to be ready to go, and with the ability to fix small problems before they get big by directing his coach. If Manto will listen Konerko will create the coach that Konerko needs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) Oh, so now you have a problem with a person on the coaching staff who makes a public decision that you find to be incorrect. And yet it's impossible to think that management may have made a mistake by hiring people who weren't up to the job. tex circles the minnow slowly, it looks tasty, smells nice, he is a little hungry and could use a series of posts to boost that post total. As he hovers he suddenly sees the shiny hook in the bait and slowly fins past. Maybe SS will play.

Thinking about Petco, if he is interested in HoF building stats, yeah, that could cause him to look elsewhere. Damn, I wish that hadn't of come up. He would need a couple 20+ win seasons to have a legit case.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Or say something like they believe they've identified holes in his swing, and they'll be working on it throughout the offseason and ST. fixed

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) Tex, you're not allowed to insinuate that management doesn't know what they're doing on any issue...you know that. I don't think he is controlling the message very well, which is different than not believing he is fixing Dunn's problems.

I hate to admit this but my iPad collects dust most of the time.

Really wish one of my athlets could arrange a ride instead of waiting for the athletic bus at 5:45.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) i wonder if Romney or Perry found out about this with some opposition research and leaked it. Exactly what I was thinking. Actually I was thinking Romney, Perry, or one of the women accusers involved. Then I figured if it was one of the accusers, they may have tried negotiating with the campaign first.

The only impossibiity of this job is making us wish we still had Walker.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) ChuckGarfien Chuck Garfien New Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto on Adam Dunn: "I don't think he lost anything. It's just 1 of those years that happened." I am not going to read too much into this, but I sincerely hope he isn't going to say keep doing what you, it was just one of those years. I believe this was for public consumption and to give Dunn a little confidence. But really, one of those years?! I'd rather he said we're going to take the winter to evaluate, study past film, and identify what is different and get him back on track.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) Lesson #1. Never, ever, tell that story again. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) LEsson 2: stop driving that way. Lesson #3; Is the color of the ice that important?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) I didn't know where to put this, so here goes. After 72 days, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are divorcing. Way to stick it out. Damn, I was wrong, I thought it wouldn't last

Perfectly acceptable.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) I also doubt Ohman gets cloned. Nicely played

Or maybe he wants to go to a team to win another championship The other part of the deal is how they deal with him during the process.

There was insufficient due diligence, they didn't interview Thomas.

1) Bob Brenly - 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks 2) Ralph Houk - 1961 New York Yankees 3) Eddie Dyer - 1946 St. Louis Cardinals 4) Bucky Harris - 1924 Washington Senators (was a player/manager) Does Ventura have the players and coaches to be #5?

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is leading the thread about drug songs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 11:54 AM) And how did Comfortably Numb not make it? It was the next one to be added. What surprised me was the Who didn't really have one that fit. I also left off anything by Sublime because I was thinking classic to give it a little focus. And why wasn't there any Doors or Stones?

One agent is receiving calls, three are making calls.

His militarty record was greatly helped by a couple of his Freemason buddies Lafayett and Von Steuban.
