In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.
For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who killed out 2011 budget.

Garces was definitely El Guapo
Always assumed it was an ironic nickname.
May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.

I thought you were going to say Fred and Jeff Wilpon and Saul Katz
but Jerry, Omar and Tony B. (are more like the Three Stooges) Razor was terrible too….but not as bad as Tony B.
