Stupidest Organization Evar
They are.
I have a fantastic idea. Let’s take a team that’s heating up — won 4 of their last 6, scored 27 runs in their last 4 games, held the best offense in the American League to 11 runs in 3 games, and is very obviously starting to break out of whatever slump they’re in — let’s take all of that and flush it down the shitter because Omar Minaya has a bug up his ass to “do something.”
On top of that, let’s fire Rick Peterson whose resume includes:
- Fixing Tom Glavine and extending his career.
- Picking Oliver Perez off the Pirates’ scrap heap and turning him in to a 15-game winner who destroys lefties.
- Picking John Maine off the Orioles’ scrap heap and turning him in to a 15-game winner who none of us would hate to have on the mound in a big spot.
- Legitimately coaching Mike Pelfrey at the big league level because they need a fifth starter and can’t afford to give him time in the minors.
- Turned Aaron Heilman into one of the better relief pitchers (except for these last two months) in the game… despite the fact Heilman’s a borderline psychopath and doesn’t want to do it.
Now, we’re throwing the entire team into a tailspin for no good reason and, if it turns out this is the beginning of a winning streak, Omar will claim that the team needed a new direction and they got in Manuel. No they didn’t you stupid person, they were heating up because they’re a good team who just finally heated up.
I hate this organization. I hate everything about them. Hey, here’s an idea… let’s throw cold water on a team who’s just starting to put it altogether. You know when I always say is the best time to fire a manager? Right when the team’s starting to win, that’s when.
I’m so excited that the fans of this team are as reasonable as the Jets’ fans. It’s worked out so smashingly well for them over the years. FIRE EVERYONE EVERY TWO YEARS, THAT’S WHAT I SAY!!! KEEP THE FRESH BLOOD FLOWING!
What is it… six weeks until Giants’ camp? At least that organization understand that fans and media are reactionary and stupid and not to be taken seriously.
