Astros were in a dog fight and the Savages did hang a loss on the great Verlander. A big base hit here and there, and things could have been different. Enjoy the series. In actuality, I am green with envy about the season that you guys had. I want my 1970's Reds back!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since, I've bargained with the "Higher Power." "You remember that 'just once before I die' thing? Are you like, married to that with me? I mean, come on..I'm a pretty good guy...right?"

Girardi is the favorite I believe. Falls in line with what I was saying the other day. If Cubs hire Girardi it's because they want to win in the current window immediately. If they want a blend of win now and future it would be Espada. If Philly is ramping up on Girardi it tells me their ownership wants to win right away. All 3 of those managers have win short term written all over them. Not a bad move as I like all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
