Not only has the thread gone off tangent, but so has the OP, as things turn out. The police will have a field day.

That is a surprise. They said there were philosophical differences between him and the GM.

It's easier to have job security when no one expects your team to win.

He looks like Milton from "Office Space". He'll probably keep showing up to work, even though he isn't getting paid. The Loo is absolute genius here.

There were! I have inside sources and they gave me the tape. Here's the transcriptions.

GM: I saw what we had and my philosophy is we should have won the division.

Shildt: I think I'll call Ben Cherington.

Yankees terminate their hitting coach and third base coach. They're expected to fire their assistant hitting coach, too.

Probably philosophy differences.

You think maybe the coaches were Plato guys and the GM was all Socrates?

Erik Gonzalez and Keury Mela are now free agents. Somehow, I don't remember the Pirates signing Mela on August 3.

Well played. Wanted to write something like that. Not creative enough.

Needless to say, I will never be hired by the Pirates. I'd be gone before the ink was dry!

WTH is Keuri Mela? Sounds like a coffee.
