The All-Purpose No Bullshit Tolerating Who Should Be the Next Manager Thread

Slash

Who?  Slash?  What kind of name is

named after a rock 'n' roll guitarist

Ohhhhhhhhhh, Slash!  Of course!  Thanks for explaining, Tony.

"This is Obama.  He's named after a famous U.S. president."

Here's a hypothetical that'll never hai but it's a fun little complex: Tony LaRussa. Definitely had his St. Louis success, but we have so much hatred for him/them. So, discuss cause SPORTZ

Fun?  You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.

I don't mean quell everybody's enthusiasm about this pending discussion but it seems our friend Tony has slipped around the bend.

La Russa said there were 17 cats at the moment at his home in the Bay Area, all of them rescued. Now let's be clear: Only a handful were permanent members of the La Russa clan. The rest were foster cats, ones the La Russas were caring for temporarily until they could be placed in homes. Still, La Russa could name them, even the newcomers. It took a couple of minutes, a few pauses, but he ticked them off, one by one, as if running down a lineup card.

    'Skye, Pearl, Slash — named after a rock 'n' roll guitarist—Sophia, Maggie, Jack — my daughter found him in the parking lot of a Jack in the Box—Stella, Sierra, Kachina, Lakota, Fergus, Dexter — he's very precocious — Misha, Cammie, Eddie, Patchy, Pawnee.'

    Yes: That is all 17. Yes: It sounded as amazing as it reads.

He stopped fostering dogs following the "Edmonds Incident".

Dusty's available. I bet the Cubs are regretting throwing out those 3 gross of toothpicks this week.

How about the kitten named after Kordell Stewart?

Any particular reason why I shouldn't prefer Man E. Acta over Girardi? Seams to me he'd be more likely to take marching orders from Theo and Jed on lineups and managing tactics. Might as well give these EGGHEADS full autonomy to sink or swim.

He's probably the strongest fallback option.  Speaks Spanish, which should help him communicate with Castro and Soler and everyone else in a modern Major League clubhouse.  He's never had much talent to work with, so he's more of an unknown than Girardi.  His egghead approach should help, IN THE ABSTRACT, but who knows.  On the other hand, he was fired and replaced with Jim Riggleman, so, buyer beware.

Wasn't Sveum supposed to do that, too?

The new manager is not Joe Girardi.  Good.

The Score is reporting that Joe Girardi has decided to stay with the Yankees. Time for Plan B.

Talk about a Ryne Sandberg suicide watch when Martinez leads the Cubs to the World Series.
