September 27, 200322 yr A few questions arise when I think about the firing of Jerry Manuel. #1.) Will he just go or will all the coaching staff go? That is key...It depends mainly on KW. #2.) If coaches are not brought back, would they be sent to a minor league team within our organizations? #3.) Do you see any of the players of Jerry Manuel's loyalists leave because of this change? #4.) What is likely to be his replacement in your opinion? My list of canidates: Tom Kelly Frank Robinson Tony Larussa Wally Backman Jim Leyland Ozzie Smith Carlton Fisk
September 27, 200322 yr I want Santos to coach the team but even if he retires this year he will want to take at least one year off. But maybe we will sign whoever the new manager is for 2-3 years, sandy will play one more season, then have 1-2 seasons of rest then he could manage the team. It is obvious that he will be a good manager some day.......lets hope its with us.
September 27, 200322 yr #4.) What is likely to be his replacement in your opinion? My list of canidates: Tom Kelly Frank Robinson Tony Larussa Wally Backman Jim Leyland Ozzie Smith Carlton Fisk None of those. Buddy Bell or Cito will get the job.

Buddy Bell ain't gonna do s*** with us. He's an old s***. No motivation, nothing. Also who is Cito?
September 27, 200322 yr Who is this Santos guy you are talking about? I'm going to be like, OHHHH YAH right when you tell me.
September 27, 200322 yr Buddy Bell ain't gonna do s*** with us. He's an old s***. No motivation, nothing. Also who is Cito? I didn't say Bell would make a difference, you asked who is the most likely to be named. Cito Gastion, he was the manager of the Blue Jays in the 90's when they won the World Series.
September 27, 200322 yr Author Who is this Santos guy you are talking about? I'm going to be like, OHHHH YAH right when you tell me. Sandy Alomar Jr. of course
September 27, 200322 yr Author I didn't say Bell would make a difference, you asked who is the most likely to be named. Cito Gastion, he was the manager of the Blue Jays in the 90's when they won the World Series. Hire Cito then...if he still has touch

Wait in ur sig is her nip showing cause that could be considered porn on this site...jw...cuz i dunno it may be
September 28, 200322 yr I would love Frank Robinson now that you mention his name. Please no buddy bell. Geez, why do we want him? Santos would be fine. I'd love Fisk! But doesn't JR hate him?
September 28, 200322 yr I'd love Fisk! But doesn't JR hate him? JR doesn't hate him. Fisk doesn't like the way he was unceremoniously released the day after he set the all-time games caught mark..... among other things.
September 28, 200322 yr "other things" including being stuck in left field to make room for light-hitting Ron Karkovice...
September 28, 200322 yr Wasn't he also not allowed in the lockerroom during the 1993 ALCS You are correct. I could have spelled out all of the incidents off the top of my head where JR f***ed Pudge, but I didn't feel like it. Critic is correct also. Anyone remember Fisk in LF? Jesus..... that was one of the dumbest ideas..... EVER!!!!!
September 28, 200322 yr Maybe we can lure Frank Robinson over from Montreal? I realize the Expos haven't won a whole heck of a lot the last two years... but considering the future that team had at the time, this man did a hell of a job with nothing. If he can fire up a bunch of players afraid of not having a team next year, think of what he could do with a team full of talent.
September 28, 200322 yr I would luv Frank Robinson to be our manager in 2004. Dunno if he'd leave the Expos though but with Vladimir leaving for greener pastures he might think it's a no win situation ova there and want to leave. But if we can't get him, hire Backman.
