when he didn’t do that dance with Kinsler after the game.

So says the FWST blog.

It’s not.

I was listening to the Hardline yesterday talk about the CBS article bashing guys like Roy Williams who wear their religion on their sleeve.

Mentioning Jesus in the middle of a negatively-themed sentence does not make it harsh.

Besides, he was obviously poking fun at the country-fried whimsy appeal of a guy like Hillman, and not his religion.

I may be missing out on the opinions suggesting he come here. I don’t listen to the radio, for example.

since bb had a .978 ops in AAA.

i was watching him during the rundown. He tried and thought about it but he really didn’t have a chance the way it worked out.

meant to reply to bigsteve

I was going to comment on the same statement and see that there was already quite a few statements about it throughout the thread. I don’t recall people saying on here that he should be hired because of his love for Jesus. I do recall people talking about his winning in Japan.

I really don’t care who the manager is for Texas. I just want them to have a manager that the players want to play for. Right now, I think the players DO want to play for Wash. I go back to the game right before the news broke that Blalock would be moving to first base. Blalock was sitting to Wash’s right the entire game and you could tell they were engaged in deep conversation (it turns out they were probably talking about the move to first). To me that states what at least Blalock thinks of playing for Wash. You could tell throughout the many shots of the dugout that Blalock was listening intently.

But to make a statement like that about Hillman and “his fans” is a bit senseless and I think that you are better than that Adam.

setting on the bench with his bat in his hand ready for his spot in the lineup to come up.

emily jones fielding grounders…could she be eyeing a move to 1st?

Depends on what Bradleys “injury” yesterday does to the management. If it makes them decide he is strictly a DH and won’t play the field anymore then you have to keep Boggs up. But if they feel confident Bradley can go out once or twice a week to give other guys a rest then yeah i think Boggs would be best served to get PT down in OKC.

When Blalock comes back, he should be taking the 1B job permanently and Boggs should be in the OF while Bradley DHs most days

To people saying that they never saw reports about Hillman’s religion playing into the hiring of Wash, you’re right. But the issue was certainly discussed here.

There were reports that Hillman didn’t think his missionary work was done in Japan, that he handed out prayer cards to players, etc., and we talked about it. Some people (me) thought the prayer cards were inappropriate, others liked his religious conviction and that often worked it’s way into people’s support for Hillman.

All that said, I chuckled at AJM’s comment but I also understand how folks think it wasn’t necessary. I’m just not one of those folks.

I think it may keep him more balanced which would lead to a easier repetition of is delivery

If its a long term one then I think they may go with JMJ but if its only a couple weeks or month then Cruz would probably be the guy.

He can and should post whatever he wants.

And he, and no one else, should also make the decision whether he wants to alienate a large number of readers or whether he wants to have an environment that is friendly towards a large number of readers. Or, more appropriately, where in the gray area between completely politically correct and completely politically incorrect he wants to be.

Either way, it’s his choice. I don’t begrudge him for what he said (I admit, I giggled). I wouldn’t begrudge him for leaving it and essentially saying, “if that bothers you leave.” And I also don’t begrudge him for not wanting to make a lot of readers uncomfortable (whether they should be or not) and censoring himself.

It’s his blog, like you said, and he should run it how he sees fit. I don’t think he needs to grow a pair.

Probably got something from his kids. Little shits are walking diseases

not sure about viral, but this year is one awful allergy season. i’ve been pretty much miserable since march
