It will be interesting to see how his "I don't really want to ever be at the ballpark unless I have to be" stance will work if they aren't winning at a place with expectations.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

He ended the conference by buying the media a shot and a drink.

By the looks of him, he is more likely to be asking somebody if they would eat the moon if it were made of barbeque spare ribs.

I like you, Matt

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Les took out his Tupperware and asked if he could get it to go.

Well he is a damn good manager too. He is the whole package.

Well you've cursed Tresty, you're currently dooming Harbaugh...time to add a Maddon avatar.

You literally can't know that to be true. That's why all manager talk is pointless bullshit.

Have you ever heard or read one single person say that Joe Maddon is a lousy Manager? He is universally praised as a great manager.

I'm also going to guess that the people involved in and around Major League Baseball know more about what makes a manager good or bad than MattInTheCrown.

One of the coolest moments at the Maddon press conference was also one I haven’t seen reported anywhere. When Maddon was talking about how he, Theo, and Jed met in a Pensacola RV park to discuss a contract, and that it was a beautiful moment, Theo quipped “We’ll always have Pensacola”.
The media quoted that, but didn’t mention why it’s so cool. It’s so cool because he’s taking from Casablanca, where Rick says “We’ll always have Paris” to Ingrid Bergman’s character. That line was written by Theo’s grandfather, Philip Epstein, who - along with his twin brother, Julius - was the writer of Casablanca. So Theo quoted from his grandfather. From Casablanca. So cool!

Except that article doesn't say that Maddon is a bad manager.

And it's a horribly written article.

Didn't you just link to a reddit comment?

Wow, what a burn. Scorched.
