St. Louis Cardinals @ New York Mets GameThread, Jul 26, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

pointed out that in the MLB.TV ad Aaron Harang of the Reds sounds like a caveman just getting out those five syllables. Now every time I see the ad I crack up in agreement. He sounds like Tor Johnson in an Ed Wood movie “TIME FOR GO TO BED”

Was is really Willie Randolph’s managing style that made this team play so badly? I’ve never seen this kind of turnaround based on the style of a manager.

when some of the players go out to eat and out for drinks and talk amongst each other…

they must be saying: “I love playin for Jerry! He lets us listen to Tupac in the clubhouse”

obviously, the proof is in the pudding but...

WOW! I just can’t understand that players have this kind of potential but didn’t display it because of the manager.

Well, they did win 96 games two years ago

and come within 3 outs of the World Series…with a very similar roster to the one we have now. But I would guess that his style was just uninspiring for the players.
