Jung Ho Kang is seeking reinstatement in the KBO. The league ruled that he must serve a year suspension and do public service if he signs with a club.

What a shame. He was a very good player until he let the "sauce" take over his life. Imagine what the Bucs might have had if he did not have a drinking and driving problem.

We've had two pretty good players destroy their careers in the last couple years. Got to be pretty low odds on that happening

Today is the anniversary of that time Lloyd McClendon stole first base. . . literally.

That was funny. But he's still the worst manager I ever saw. I liked him as a player and hoped he's be a good manager. But he had a bad team and made them worse. He didn't last long in Seattle either.

I can see it now! With social distancing, a manager might take a hint from Lloyd and just say a few words to the ump and then lean down and steal the 1B bag or whatever bag is in question. ;D ;D ;D

Pirates worst manager has been a toss-up for me between McLendon and John Russell. I'm still not sure if Russell was clinically dead in his time here.

I hear ya. But when Mac was grossly overmanaging every game, making every move he had ever seen a manager make without understanding why, I used to say they would do better if he would just sleep through the games. Then they hired Russell who seemed to be sleeping through the games. I thought Russell's complete inactivity was an upgrade over the awake and counterproductive McClendon. It's a sad state of affairs when the total lack of anything resembling a pulse (Russell) isn't the worst thing you've seen in a manager.

Interesting point. A manager's actions were worse than another manager's complete inaction. I should've used that defense with my mother when she caught me beating the crap out of my younger brother. "But mom, don't ya see, it woulda been worse if I didn't hit him!"

Lloyd was the worst manager I ever saw.
