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.

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.

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.
