Over/Under on Buddy Bell

Who?

I think I remember him playing 3rd base for Tejas. Other than that, what's this guy done that qualifies him to be a MLB manager?

Good luck not eclipsing the '62 Mets, Buddy.

You've got your work cut out for you. I 'm thinking that Bobby Bell might have a better chance in this town right about now.

Then again, he is 1-0 and Zack got his first win.

Rack!

The guy couldn't hack it in Detroit or Denver...he goes to another struggling franchise. I don't think he'll take them any further than what Pena did a couple years ago. That team needs to spend some money first.

That's fuckin' pitiful.

However, I imagine that all the Glass family is looking for is a tax write-off, so the fact that they're pulling a Rachel Phelps with this team, while disappointing, isn't that much of a shock.

<-----------eternal optimist, glass is half full, etc.

I shall reserve judgement.

In the meantime....

LET'S GO ROYALS!!!

And if Glass is really doing it the Wally Way, he made Bell turn over the Southwest frequent flyer flight segment over to the team bank

2-0

Granted, it was against the woeful Yankmees, but any port in a storm.

I sense an attitude change.

got fired from the Rockies. and the Rox have been managed by Clint Hurdle for 3+ years since.

I rest my case.

3-0

Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

I have not felt like this in 15 years, which coincidentally, is the last time that KC swept the Yankees.

Nice job so far, Buddy.

Keep up the good work.
