Leyland

[tonyballs]

Damn Tony.....what did Leyland do....did he bang your wife or something?

Derrrrrrgh.....good one!!!

Simply, i've had enough of his bullshit and i want him gone. I can't stand the decisions he makes or doesn't make on the diamond. He costs this team too much with his stupidity.

Better?

I dislike Gene Lamont more than Leyland still. Swear Gene would hold a runner at 3rd on a HR.

Agree 100%. I probably couldn't tell you another 3B coach we've had or one on another team. The fact that we all know and bitch about him so regularly is amazing.

Tracewski used to get some bitching and moaning back in the Sparky days.....there we go another 3b coach who was the managers buddy

Isn't that how it usually works, a new manager gets coaches he's been with before and are familiar.

I agree. That slob needs to go to...

true enough...pretty much like that in every sport.

You know the sad part? I think the Red Sux actually made a big mistake passing on Geno for Valentine. LOL!

f'kn lamont, he looks like the kind of guy in the post game buffet that is scratching his ass with one hand and shoving cold cuts down his pie hole with the other.
"Hey Geno you going to the movies"?
"No".
"Oh, I thought you was because you were picking your seat".

Tigers iirc have 15 out of the next 18 at Comerica, so if they go on a good streak of wins and get back even or ahead of the whitesox, that double edged sword might appear, good that they are back in first place, but also like last year, DD could give Leyland and geno the goof legendary lloyd and wimpy jones his and theirs 1 year extensions in season......

Was Geno willing to go the Red Sox though?

 

[kingofdetroit57]

He was the other finalist. I'd hope he gave himself the go sign before getting that deep, but who knows with him?

I was telling all my buds here, in Henny Youngman routine....
"Take my third base coach, Please".

that was all with the co-owner larry lucchino wanting valentine.

To become manager, probably. I assume that's why he interviewed.

I didn't even know he interviewed. I just thought the Red Sox inquired about his availability.

I think he was interviewed twice. Some guy liked him more but the boss man liked Valentine. I think that's how it worked out.

nope, he would have been the sux manager if the owner hadnt interfered and insisted on bobby v.

play Berry full time and lead him off and move Jackson to the 5 spot.

Berry's OBP is terrible. He should bat 9th or not at all.

But if we did have someone else to lead off, I'd bat Ajax 3rd, Miggy 4th, and Prince 5th, with Avila/Vmart 6th.

Id prefer VMart 2nd, he'd be perfect there. High OBP, low strikeouts, not a lot of HR power anymore. A perfect table setter for Miggy and Prince.

I'd actually prefer to have Vmart batting behind those guys who get on base. He's good with 2 strikes, he's good with knocking in runs. He'd probably be a good table setter as well but he'd be a perfect 5.
