  1. Yeah, even though I think it's the right decision, it's still a little sad. But now, it's onward, upward (hopefully) ... c'est la vie.
  2. Concur. Wonder if he accepts a role in the org? Doesn't sound like it.
  3. Could someone report back on the presser? I can't get it here. nm. Have 1500am streaming.
  4. Ooops ... I knew it was z ... in the same general area of the keyboard ... sometimes my fingers just type too fast. (Super fast touch typist ... I forget to read sometimes.) Mientkiewicz
  5. If he's the new manager, better learn it now ... Mientkiewicz ... just remember ... you have two 'ie' combinations, and the rest is easy.
  6. I just hope a new manager is named sooner rather than later ... not sure I can handle 50 new threads daily on who the new manager should be.
  7. I'm not at all surprised by Gardy for all the reasons listed above. I am surprised, sort of, by the 'letting go' of the entire coaching staff, but understand why that had to be. Let the 'new guy' (and I use that term lightly, because I don't consider Molitor a new guy, if it's him, but I kind of hope not) choose whom he works with best. Question ... does anyone think any of the coaches will be back? Who do you want back, if any? I wouldn't be opposed to Bruno and/or Cuellar.
  8. JB would be fine. Me? Not so much. Thanks for that hearty laugh! I like the gig I have now, thank you very much. And thanks above for the 'guy or gal' ... that's forward thinking ... but are there any women coaches, managers out there anywhere in baseball?
  9. I, too, think the Foundation idea is a good one. As for extending him, I'd wait until next year and see what he does, and who is where in the line of prospects.
  10. Not to be nitpicky, because this is an interesting article and appreciate the read, but, very respectfully, it's Kaat, not Katt.
  11. This was all amazing stuff! Thank you! Instead of a pub crawl, maybe TD should construct it's own 'hill drill' contest?
  12. I've gone back and forth on Molitor, never being quite completely sold. I wouldn't be upset if that's the way the Twins decided to go, but Mientkiewics would be my first choice. While yes, it would be a 'promote from within' route, I still think it represents a much-needed younger, energetic winning outlook and I get very enthused with the thought of it. While Molitor has shown he's willing to embrace some of the more 'new-fangled' ideas and technologies available, in my mind he still seems like that 'older expected safe standard' that I think is now the time to move away from. Not that age should be a factor, but Molitor is older than Gardy. I think the new manager should be able to 'run with the kids' for years to come. I've stated before I think it's time for change, but I wouldn't be irate if Gardy were allowed to finish out his contract sans Anderson. If he wants to resign before his contract is up, then so be it and let's usher in the era of Dougie Baseball. (Btw, I am not in agreement of a manager starting a brawl as being some kind of awesome but that's perhaps a different discussion.)
  13. Did you leave this in from a previous report? Fort Myers' next game is tonight in Daytona at 6:05pm CT; and Cedar Rapids plays Kane County tonight in CR at 6:35pm CT.
  14. You could see the confidence even though they are very young, relatively speaking.
  15. The Miracle haven't won a championship since 1985, before they were a Twins affiliate (they were the Fort Myers Royals) and Mientkiewics was 11. Watching them play on Wednesday you could feel the desire.
  16. It's still there. Go to 'My Settings' and on the left hand side of the screen you should see 'Ignore Preferences.' Click on that and take it from there.
  17. Vacation is coming ...
