Girardi was overall 9 games under .500 in parts of three years. Matheny, I believe, is about 40 games under for about the same number of games.

they should fire Mathane and promote Pedro Grifol for the remainder of the season, he's been close on a couple jobs - is bilingual and understands analytics... not that we use those - DM sees the devil them there numbers.

Girardi interviewed for the royals and DM years and years ago between his marlins and yankee stints.... and we ended hiring ****ing Hillman. Jesus Christ.

Why would we want Girardi? If he can't make it work with the absolute dearth of talent he's been handed in Philly, why would he fare any better here. He's not Matheny, so that's nice, but I'd hope the standard was a bit higher than that.

I'm not saying that I'd take anyone over Matheny, but if they have a heartbeat, they're in the mix. Matheny is the absolute master at punching the wrong button.

They're getting pretty desperate to sell some tickets of late. I get these email offers of $10 tickets with $9 concession value loaded on quite often recently. Just got a new email today that was $29/month for tickets to ALL home games each month.
Another idea they could try would be winning and making some changes to get rid of the suck, but what do I know |

A manager is not going to make any difference for a team like this. This team sucks balls with Ned. It sucks balls with Matheny. It would suck balls with Tommy Lasorda.

The Royals managed to not be losing in the first inning. However, that didn't last long.
Unless this team can luck into another massive trade package, I'm not holding out much hope for change in the next few (or even many) years. |
