Baseball notes

The ironic thing about the search for a new manager for the Orioles is that I'm not sure I'd want any established manager who would take the job. I mean, yeah, Joe Girardi might be a good fit, but why would he take the job? A poor team without much hope for the future, with an incompetent management team and an owner who doesn't know what he's doing? So if Girardi was hired, he'd become immediately undesireable as a candidate to me. And so it goes. Mike Flanagan and Dan Duquette should have been the first to go, but I expect Andy McPhail will get rid of them soon enough. Dombrowski gave Randy Smith a few months before showing him the door. Maybe...

Meanwhile, my Tigers are beating up on the Nats pretty good so far. I hope they can continue tomorrow, when I'll be there along with a group of MSU Alums.
