THIS MAN MUST GO.
Ok - those of you who know me, know that I'll support the Mariners every chance I get.
But, I've had enough. Their manager, Mike Hargrove, must go. I've had enough.
I'm tired of him trying to win in Safeco Field as if it's a field that it's easy to hit long balls out of. Lou had the right idea. Win with small ball. Hargrove's got speed on this team Lou never had. And he still tries to win every game with home runs, rather than stringing solid innings together. For the love of God, he's got TWO Japanese players starting on this team. Let's embrace that style.
I'm tired of him going out on the field and "casually talking" to the umpires. Dude, if you're jumping out of that dugout - you gotta be ready to let them have it, and be thrown out of the game. Lou had the right idea. Throw a base (or two.)
I'm tired of him at the post-loss press conferences talking about how "he's glad that game's over," or how "we didn't play very well tonight." Dude, Lou'd be BURNING THE CLUBHOUSE TO THE GROUND. I'm not sure Hargrove's even into it anymore.
By the way, any guesses on who I'd like to replace him?
