Being a baseball manager has got to be the best job. Dusty just sitting back in that chair looking like he had a day full of hard choices but the hardest thing he did was take his jersey off then sit down

John Gibbons who if not managing the Jays i have no doubts would be a deli counter worker at a supermarket has been managing for 9 season in the majors...

Proof you need no actual acumen or knowledge of the game to succeed in it...

Sabean offered him a similar contract except it had a clause about staying in shape and shyt. Thank God Pablo is an idiot

@ The RedSox.

Who didn't see the Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez signings blowing up in their faces? :yaolaff:

Those contracts aren't that bad, 100M is standard money in baseball.

Isn't Hanley hitting the ball really well in spring?

Well it's certainly not a good thing

Seriously, how can you try and pass it off now being a massive L?

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

I cannot fukking believe how low that over/under is for KC.

@Absolut what's the reasoning behind this in Vegas?

 

[tremonthustler1]

under for the Red Sox and over for the Mets = easy $$$


If you got 38 games against the Braves and Phillies and you can't win 91+, you ain't shyt.

lot of the win total projections for KC was in the mid-high 70's

vegas win total is actually generous here
