It's an odd situation. The guy IS a good manager or at least leader of major league teams (if not in game managing)

He's had a ton of success, but then when he gets to the pinnacle, he is still ripped (rightfully) for the moves that almost cost them a title.


I'm not sure, how Id react if I were him. It's not right, but I can see it.


A guy in my office (sox fan) told me "the genius" Maddon would go to the Yankees. I said, Maddon gets love but Francona gets as much if not more and he said I was crazy.

Maddon has been ripped pretty consistently since Game 7. The genius thing is over for him.


I do think he's a good dude in real life. Probably buys drinks. Same with Dusty. Pinella seems like a prick.

Why does Dusty seem like an awful person?


Yea, Maddon is arrogant. Still think Id enjoy having a few drinks with him.

"Awful person" is probably strong, but he seems very bitter and angry to me. Always got that vibe whether he was broadcasting or coaching.

Maddon seems condescending. As much as Maddon tries to come off as some peace-loving hippie, I think he's clearly very egotistical and holds strong grudges against guys who ever cross him.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I think you nailed it here. I know the type well.

Should peace loving hippies not hold grudges?

They are normal people

I think it takes quite a bit of cognitive dissonance to constantly preach about fostering a culture of openness and allowing players to express themselves and then not playing a guy because he disagrees with you on something.

Are you talking about that cunty LaStella who ditched the team last year and is probably starting tonight?

He's one, but he also clearly didn't like Jason Hammel or Miggy Montero.

You can also hear him get indignant when anyone in the media challenges him.

:lol: What? I don't know that Joe Maddon is liberal. In fact, I think he's probably conservative on most issues.

He's literally campaigning to replace citizens with illegal immigrants.

Peace loving hippie conservative.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

It's more fun to be a victim

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

Joe is a self-described social liberal/financial conservative.

Most schools in my neck of the nape.

You Chicago area schools... Don't you get a day off because of some lame Polish guy too?

The Cubs have won despite Maddon, not because of him.

I think it's obvious why Joe lost so many times in the playoffs with Tampa even with "great teams". The Cubs had enough talent to overcome him.

Just like Billy Beane, small market team + make the playoffs a lot = greatness in MLB regardless of context and then we can all pretend that actually winning in the World Series doesn't matter, until a team wins the World Series, and then it matters, but not really because it's mostly luck anyways and the regular seasons win total is more important.
