Out to Left Idea for Arte

[NorCal Halo]

How about parting with Jerry, promoting Mike to GM, and hiring Bud Black as manager?

[QuinlansMinion]

Yes

[Blarg]

No. Mike's interim GM skills during the Reagins era didn't go well. Black, it appears, is not a good manager.

[stevestevens]

This is right up there with the idea to make a "jump to conclusions" mat.

Get Franconia from Cleveland

Good movie reference.

I think he did a great job in SD for what players he had.

[wopphil]

Yeah, no offense to the OP, but this is the worst idea I have ever heard.

"This is, horrible idea" - samir naga..naga...nagonna work here anymore

[SoWhat]

Yeah, no offense to the OP, but this is the worst idea I have ever heard.

It really is.

[Troutstanding]

No, selling off Huston Street was the worst idea ever.

[Dick B Back]

No, not signing Nolan Ryan cause he wasn't worth a million a year was the worst idea ever!

[Blarg]

Get Franconia from Cleveland

Yeah because he really turned that franchise around.

....but, but he like lots of grape frozen sticks, lots!

Didn't Black have experience in the front office?   Maybe they need to hire a new "Team President" in charge of acting as the buffer between Dipoto and MS.

 

Jerry:  GDI!!!  Are they using this scouting reports as toilet paper?  WTF are they doing?????

Buffer to MS: Mike, Jerry would appreciate it if the coaches would try to make greater use of the data we are giving you. 

Mike: "Grunt"

Buffer to JD: Jerry, Mike says he appreciates all the information and finds it very useful but he's trying not to overwhelm the players with too much info at this time.

 

Could work...

[Hollyw00d]

"hey Jerry"

"yeah, mike?"

"look out for your cornhole, buddy."

"ok..thanks.."

Scioscia's first moves as GM would be to bring back Willits, Mathis, Quinlan, Hillenbrand, Izturis, Figgins, Bourjos, GMJr (scioscia's allstars !)

[Brian Ilten]

Take a look at MLB history and tell me how many former pitchers have managed teams to the WS. It can't happen.

Now Black becoming the next GM....

Arte is baseball's Jerry Jones.

Sosh's hatred of Napoli led to the Wells trade - the biggest major league blunder until the Josh Hamilton saga.

 

Cue the MEME

Imagine if Scioscia is ever fired, imagine how many players will suddenly openly say not nice things about Scioscia.

I imagine Napolir or Lackey will tweet something like "About effin time !"
