Ron Washington=questionable

Saw a interview with this guy finally the other day. Didn't strike me as very bright. Even said something like "I is teaching" or grossly grammatically incorrect like that.

Talked a bunch of nonsense about doing the little things, winning 3-2 games, taking the extra base, stupid small ball stuff. I would rip him on this but I guess, most managers talk this way. I think even the great Buck Showalter did. And Buck had this team 20 games over potential, clearly.

Anyway, sadly, I think Rwash will not be fired at the end of this year. It may take three long years of losing before he's fired. Managment will be forced to give a minority an extra long leash because of liberals running the country.

The Astros and Yankees however, still search for their first minority managers.

Washington...
is an ignorant black person that has no idea how to be a leader, make good decisions, etc... when it comes to managing a baseball team. He was about the worst person we should have hired to lead this team in 2007.

JD And Hicks should have payed Trey Hillman the money. Yet Tom Hicks and JD made all this big deal about Washington being the best one.

Another bad flop by Rangers Management

I thought the exact same thing
I was suprised until I looked down at who posted it.

Actually,
no SANE person likes racism. It needs to be stamped out.

someone finally said it
Wash was the wrong hire

Trey Hillman or Don Wakamatsu would have been a better choice

Finally said Wash was the wrong guy?
If that's what you mean, than you're wrong.  A lot of people have said that.

Or did you mean that someone finally said that Wash is an ignorant black man?

His
skin color has nothing to do with his ability to coach.  You are an idiot.

It is very ironic that you would be calling someone ignorant.

By those lousy liberals!
They're always up to no good.

I saw one of them last night. He was walking his dog, but there was something about the way he was walking his dog that made me think maybe he was secretly running the country. So I stopped him and I said, "Sharky knows about you, and he's going to expose you by making really clever blog comments about you."

Then the guy started crying and ran away.

Lousy liberal scum!!!

Go, Sharky! Go, go, go!

It takes a big man to cry. It takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

Fuck You
...and the other guy.

He had a right to say that, and we have a right to call him an asshole for it.  Very few of us want to read that kind of shit on here.

Who in the hell are you to censor

He is not censoring,
he is just calling you both assholes.

Exactly
I don't agree with word chosen for the morons that would bring his skin color into the equation of whether or not he is a success, but you definitely have a right use it.  There are a long list of titles I would give these morons.

Im not sure about that
If Sharky was managing, Im not sure the team would be playing .350 ball.

The Rangers...
...wouldn't be on the field at all.  They'd be out in the community, snubbing out dem damn liberals.

I don't think
mastery of the English language is an indication of someone's being ignorant or not. Look at your president (in fact, he used to own this team), he controls our nuclear arsenal and he can't even freaking pronounce "Nuclear" correctly. And he went to Yale! And Harvard!

Agreed.......
Please Adam or Zy (or Ben?) delete this crap!

Before this
get deleted I want to say that someones grammar is in no way indicative of a person intelligence.  Same for spelling.  (It is fun to rip someone on here for these two fouls and I get ripped for it plenty, good fun).  As a teacher and the husband of an English teacher, I do believe I believe there is an importance in using correct grammar in certain venues.  Otherwise, you will have a hard time convincing people you are not an idiot.

There is no grammar in baseball.

You are correct
Grammar isn't always indicative of intelligence, but it helps.  I listen to him on with Hitzges every week and he just sounds like an uneducated moron who has spent most of his adult life at the Crash Davis School of Baseball Cliches.

Not really
The 2 main reasons I am not around more is a new job and the team sucks.  I don't watch many games anymore so there isn't much to comment on and when there is it's depressing.
