Hey dirkatron

Not sure if you saw this (or maybe you stole the notion from someone else in the first place).
Nothing pithy here. Please move long.
heh
No I never saw that and no I never stole it.
The guy sounds exactly like James Woods, period.
That’s awesome it’s being picked up on nationally, cause it’s freaking uncanny.

David Murphy, is the only other player who started a game in center, and that was only 9.
Boggs should definitely play more games in center than Murphy.
Kemp??? I thought he was white!

OT: Just finished Hamilton's book after 2 days.
I have tears in my eyes after reading the last 2 chapters about this year with the Rangers. I love baseball, but more importantly I love the Texas Rangers.
If you haven’t read the book, I suggest you do it soon.
I had tears in my eyes at several points
But definitely in the last two chapters. I agree that everyone should read it…and soon.

As much as I hate it,
it’s ingenious. (My advertising degree is in full effect here) Think about the reach these ads have in these states. Say you are reaching aprox 5% of the population, 10 times a week from people over 18 old enough to vote. Obama has already reached more of that demographic than McCain ever could just because of a little ad in an online video game. It really is ingenious.

KT had something on that a while ago.
Shawn in Philly: Do you really believe the lack of African-American players in the game is a “crisis”? Does it matter how many there are in the league as long as the opportunity is there? To me, the real problem is the lack of African-Americans in front office positions.
Joe Morgan: Of all the people I’ve listened to about this percentage, you have the right understanding. I cannot find it in my heart to blame MLB for the percentages. The opportunity is there. Players are making a choice to go to the NBA or the NFL. If baseball wants to try to help persuade them to go that way, that’s great, but it’s not baseball’s fault. Football is 70 percent African-American and basketball is 80 percent African-American. All those athletes are not playing baseball. I agree fully that the problem is in the front office and in the management, but if you do not have African-American players, where are the managers going to come from? They have brought people into the front office who have graduated from Harvard, but not African-Americans who have graduated from Harvard. You have guys who get two, three chances, but a guy like Cito Gaston, Dusty Baker, Don Baylor, Lloyd McClendon, Davey Lopes, Jerry Manuel who don’t get as many chances. Yet a aguy like Phil Garner, who lost in Milwaukee and Detroit, found a good team in Houston. Not to pick on him, but the opportunity isn’t there. Only Frank Robinson has managed more than three different teams; Cleveland, San Francisco, Baltimore, and Washington. You have a very good understanding of what I see as the problem.
KT: All right, look. Dabbling in racial discussions is always a dangerous thing. And I fully agree that all different types of people should have the opportunities to manage MLB teams, and I think it’s probably true that MLB, like the NFL and the NBA, should have more minority managers and front-office types — especially African-Americans.
But. Look at that list of guys who, Joe is insinuating, didn’t get a fair shake. Cito Gaston won two WS, then went 56-88, 74-88, 72-85, and was fired. I’ll quote from his Wikipedia page here…
He had failed to lead the team to a winning record since 1993 and seemed uninterested in keeping his position. Gaston forced [GM Gord] Ash’s hand by telling his boss that he was taking a vacation at season’s end and would not be around for the usual post season evaluation process, thus ending his Jays managing career in an undignified fashion. He was replaced by then-pitching coach Mel Queen on an interim basis for the last week of the 1997 season. Gaston rejoined the team as a hitting coach after the 1999 season but was not retained after a disappointing 2001 campaign and the sale of the franchise to Rogers Communications. In 2002, he was hired by the Jays for a third time, as special assistant to president and chief executive officer Paul Godfrey.
Given Gaston’s impressive record and World Series titles, it is somewhat surprising that he never managed again in the Major Leagues. Nevertheless, Gaston was a final candidate for the Detroit Tigers manager’s job in the 1999-2000 season and was the runner-up to in the Chicago White Sox manager position in the 2003-4 off season. Sox GM Kenny Williams, a former Blue Jays player, had Gaston as one of two finalists for the job but decided to hire Ozzie Guillen. Gaston had several offers to rejoin major league teams as a hitting instructor…but declined offers. His length of unemployment now makes it unlikely he will return to the major leagues as a manager.
So…it was African-American GM Kenny Williams who hired Ozzie Guillen — a minority candidate — over Gaston. Just sayin’.
And Lopes, well, he has a career record of 144-195. (Also, I don’t believe he is African-American. Am I wrong?) Dusty Baker is the man who thinks that you shouldn’t “clog up the bases.” He probably ended the careers of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood by having them throw like 150 pitches a game even after DL trips. He stinks on ice. Don Baylor won more than 83 games once in nine years. Lloyd McClendon was 336-446 in five years. Jerry Manuel was better (500-471), and is currently coaching for the (African-American-coached) Mets, I think, and he’s only 53. He’ll get another chance.
A lot of these guys — like McClendon, and Baylor to some extent — had crappy teams. But they also didn’t do that great, so it’s not totally surprising that they haven’t been handed other jobs. I don’t know. MLB should do more to encourage front-office — and, I guess, non-Harvard — minority hires. But I don’t think it’s racism, necessarily, that has kept, say, Dusty Baker, from getting hired. I think it’s good sense.
Wow, too long.
But, I think Cito was going through some family issues at the time. Really, does it matter? Athletes get away with so much more…

A manager also isn't doing a fraction as much for your team as a manager.
If he’s not interested in being a good manager he’s not interested in being a good manager. Whatever the reason, hire someone else.
And if a player’s dispassionate, there’s good reason to think twice about signing them, too. Especially for one, expensive year.
Totally agree.
I believe he was going through an ugly divorce at the time, fwiw.

African Americans in front office positions
Can we just say black instead of African American? I really get sick and tired of the African American label. Black people seem to cling to this Afro American title. Maybe I should just start calling myself a Caucasian Irish Italian American

Surprise Rafters tonight are losing 2-6 in the 8th. The Rafters are not doing that good overall as a team.
But for the Rangers guys that are important…. Johnny is 0-4 and Chad Tracy is 0-4. Both are not doing to good. Whittleman is batting .133 so far and Tracy is .083. Really doesn’t mean much to me cause both are stud players. I just thought they’d be doing better than this.
