The_Punisher Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 If we decide to rid ourselves of Jack McKeon, how about we add Lou Piniella who Tampa will most likely fire cause of his fury. Am I one of a few who think Lou can do a better job with this club than Jack? Or does he lack the patience, our guys are mature enough already, and just need a leader to push them, any thoughts?

QuickGold Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Why would Lou come here? He only manages in Tampa because he lives there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ns2003 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The only good thing I see is that his attitude could fire them up, as they need a kick in the ass. But still no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguelcabrera2420 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 We need Joe Torre maybe the Yankees will get rid of him because of the mess in Yankee town. We all know he knows how to raise young talent and get them to interact with them and the veterans. Plus he is like the best at knowing how to deal with great pitchers. Lou sucks he just had great talent and great coaches in seattle now look at him he is no baseball coaching god i think that he should go into broadcasting.

rferry Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Lou might be a better fit for a veteran team trying to win now, but we have a good manager worthy of a fulfilling his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinGuru Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 While you're at it, fire Beinfest and hire Beane, trade Cabrera for Burnitz, and send Burnett to the minors. :plain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsContinueTo ShowDomi Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 and get Kurt Ojala back too... :-) 810790[/snapback] That reminds me, whatever happened with his attempt to be a knuckleball pitcher? Is he still playing somewhere in independent leagues or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanleyDavidson Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Piniella is an idiot 810612[/snapback]Â Â well he coaches better than mckeon and its not his fault that the drays have to play the yankees,red soxs and orioles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It's retarded how we always talk about getting rid of people... And if we were to get rid of Jack, which we wouldn't, we wouldn't get Lou--he sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, I said Joe Torre is horrible. Anytime you have a 200+ million dollar payroll and a manager can't find a way to win ball games, something is very wrong.  Steinbrenner: Joe, we lost again tonight. Joe Torre: durrrrr, but how can we lose, we have Derek Jeter   He gets stacked teams every single year filled with countless future hall of famers and all stars and he has a 200 million dollar payroll at his disposal and he STILL can't win, that says a lot about the type of manager he is. Joe Torre is all hype and any of his success was bought, not earned. The logic you used in your second paragraph about Lou Piniella completely 100% applies to Joe Torre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyggyMarlin Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I don't mind McKeon for the most part. I agreed with his line-up changes to shake up the offense. The only problem I have with jack is leaving in his pitchers too long (see AJ in 7th inning today) and the way he handles the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogFish Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Isnt AJ the same guy who questioned McKeon for taking him out early in his last outing! As for the idiot calling, it usually is the one who calls others idiots. But I understand, kids will be kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
