Stop gap til what exactly, the triumphant return of the amazingly awesome, successful, perennial Allstar and mega savior Brandon McCarthy? Oh, great............... FUCKTARDS!
d's good but it's a sliding scale side note: but i think friedman is a bit like ned seems to be targeting ex/current rays allegedly targeting ramirez and (now) archer maybe that's why they hired all those ex-gms... so they can be familiar with other teams players
probably mutual tbh friedman didn't want maddon getting all the credit if we win and maddon didn't want to be working under a very hands-on/controlling management can't blame either side really nor do i blame roberts for jumping at the opportunity
Not to nitpick, but if it was mutual, then he was never asked, so he could never turn it down. So what we are dealing with is what we think their private reasons were that nothing ever happened, no?
What I meant was that Maddon (and anyone) could see that the Cubs were better positioned to make a World Series run than the Dodgers were. At that point the Cubs were on the fast track while the Dodgers were just beginning to chug out of the station.
This went from a very interesting debate to complete bias thoughts and douchebaggery. Very prosportsdaily.
Why are we talking about Maddon we had a manager at the time. Of course if knew then what we know now we would have made a huge run for him. He probably liked the challenge of getting a city a title after 100+ years and he was a coach on the Angels so maybe he didn't want to live here. Who knows point is it's too late.
