Ah, ok. For a second, I thought the kid suggested calling that weird kid from Iowa for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What kind of an organization is this? We let the most important decision of the year come from a 5 year old? Maybe he has flipped a thousand coins in his young lifetime, but never under this kind of pressure. What kind of assurances did we have that he was going to be correct with 'heads'? NONE. He got lucky!! I'm sure Phil Luckett could have been had to make this call. Yeah, he would have cost the team some money, but we could have guaranteed we got the toss right. Once again this organization took the cheap route by leaving such a crucial decision in the hands of young Jake. What's next coloring on the concourse? Petting zoo in the bullpen bar? We need new management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
