May 23, 200521 yr i'd say welcome to the boards, but your post rubbed me the wrong way. logan cancer? this is a game, lighten up.
May 23, 200521 yr Wow... I probably could have looked like a genius out there if I had Carlos Delgado and Juan Pierre at my disposal.

May 23, 200521 yr Logan Kensing isn't ready. Plain and simple....he is just too hitable. Mota will be back next week and Kensing will be sent back down. He was only recalled because he is already on the 40 man roster.
May 23, 200521 yr Jacks ejection got the team fired up and we eventually got some runs. Welcome to the boards. :plain
May 23, 200521 yr I wasn't crazy about Jack hiring Dunlop. But, I was impressed with him yesterday, including his post-game TV interview. In fact, if Jack is ejected... is he able to communicate with Dunlop? Sure he's not supposed to... but what is the reality?

Of course, the dugout runway is many an ejected manager's new perch. A suspended Billy Martin once managed via phone until an umpire got wise and ripped the phone off the dugout wall. Where were you during the seven-run sixth inning, Jack? ''I can't tell you.'' Pause. ``I am supposed to be here [in the clubhouse].'' How did it look to you from wherever you were? ``I was paying attention, put it that way. Via television.'' McKeon couldn't help breaking into guilty laughter however, as he described deploying Juan Pierre and Carlos Delgado as pinch-hitters during the sixth. ''I knew [Tampa Bay] had one left-hander over there,'' McKeon said. ``I knew Delgado could hit the left-handers better than any of them. I had him go up there, and they brought [left-handed Trever Miller] in. He hit him. I was surprised when they brought the other guy in, but on the other hand, I knew I already had informed Harry to . . .'' Realizing what he had just said, McKeon spurted into laughter before finishing, ``We'll pinch-hit Pierre if they bring a right-hander in. Well, they brought the right-hander [Lance Carter] in. Well, I sent word.'' A reporter chuckled that Dunlop was probably already thinking along those lines. McKeon concurred, ``Yeah, he was thinking that way.'' McKeon's grin, almost impish, was remindful it's not a bad day if you get to lose a little temper and win a game.

Jack exploding in the early innings fired up the team, Jack knew exactly what he was doing. Jack going out there and ripping the umpire a new a**hole had just as much to do with winning the game as Harry Dunlop's decision making. Going out there and arguing with the umpires and getting ejected is more than just arguing, it's to fire up your team. If your team is losing and playing horrible, the best thing a manager could do is go out there and start a argument with an umpire to put a fire in the belly of his team.
May 23, 200521 yr Dunlop made the same type moves Jack does nightly. P.S. I don't know why anyway is complaining about a pitcher giving up runs in a mop-up role. We did win, right?

NewMarlinOnboard, Jack didn't get schooled, you did.
May 23, 200521 yr P.S. I don't know why anyway is complaining about a pitcher giving up runs in a mop-up role. We did win, right? 780446[/snapback] does it matter?.... there's always a scapegoat
