That’s better than the machinations of most managers, and that means his skills at handling the clubhouse don’t come with the tactical drawbacks we tend to see from other guys with that label.

I loathe him.

Still with the extra vitriol on your pizza pie? Must be tasty along with your heaping helping of douchery. Hey! Next time you see your parole officer, have him tighten that bolt in your neck. Might correct that mental wobble you keep having.

Speaking of idiots; how’s things with you and McCourt going? Still getting along well with your soul mate there?

Chances are he isn’t going to get a hit in each of his next 24 games without bumping that a bit more.

Still waiting to see Uggla break the hit streak though, and almost be at .230. Seems too ironic and pathetic for it to not happen.

Ripken’s streak, Dimaggio’s hit streak, Ted Williams’ on-base streak, and, while it’s not really a record, I doubt any non-juicer could hold not one but two spots in the top three single-season home run tallies. Behind Maris at 61 is Ruth and 60 and then Ruth again at 59.

People may think he is just a goofy guy with great stories. But he knows how to handle the Clubhouse and make the players work hard for him. I’m glad us fans have him as the Skipper and hoping he brings us another WSC.

The mid-day show with Anthony and Glenn have him on regularly, and I always find their talks to be very worth while.

I don’t care if he never double switches and only somewhat care that he sticks with old scrubs…each and every time he talks, pure entertainment.
