WHY hire a renown architect.......
.....when the bricks have already been put into place?
Sorry....sorry...sorry.....'nother sports posting.....
Just sick of hearing what a true leader and phenomenal skipper Jim Leyland is for leading Detroit to the World Series!
This article is thee biggest joke. It states that the situations of Jim Leyland and Lou Pinella are similar. I love the line: If you spend money and give him players, he'll give you a winner. And fast
Nooooooo? Ya THINK?? I woulda never guessed.....
Naw, sorry....uhhh, that is NOT what makes a truly great manager/coach/leader. Ted Nolan, the best example I can think of, took a Buffalo Sabres team with a miniscue payroll, got them to perform, made the playoffs....and then won NHL Coach of the Year honours! THAT is a great coach/manager/leader.
Leeeet's see.......
In 1997 Jim Leyland won the World Series with the Florida Marlins! Cool. Now, right before that ONE year, Marlins owner H. Wayne Huizenga (yes, the guy who ran Waste Management and Blockbuster Entertainment) went absolutely apeshit and bought thee very best baseball stars he could......cost be dammed!!
In 1998....Huizenga had a fire sale and dumped all of the star talent on that 1997 World Championship team.
Sooooo.....the Marlins 1998 team?? How'd they do??
Uhhh....try 54 wins..............108 losses!!
Leyland, always up for a challenge, resigned right after that 1998 season.
Hell, there's even a book about it written by David Rosenbaum: If They Don't Win It's a Shame: The Year the Marlins Bought the World Series
Or maybe he WAS up for a challenge....maybe a quick paycheque...who knows? Because in 1999, Leyland took over as Manager for The Colorado Rockies.
With his stunning managerial skills (1999 Rockies record: 72-90) and Leyland's belief in commitment and leadership (the guy didn't buy a house in Denver....didn't even rent an apartment - HE SLEPT IN THE FUCKING CLUBHOUSE AT COORS FIELD!!!), Jim figured that his work there was done after one season! After 1999, he left The Rocks....
Couldn't have said it better myself.......
Damm....MAYBE Ted Nolan will get fired from the New York Islanders....and The Rocks will hire him.......
....GO CARDINALS!!!!
