    Different time. Earl was a riot. But he was a good MGR, too.

    I was a Sparky Anderson fan. He had a great dust-up when BALT scored the run at home-plate in 1970.
    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

            Sweet Lou was just as entertaining as the managers above-mentioned.
            He's still my favorite, but that's subjective and just my opinion.

            The play-by-play guy and the analyst in the booth are hilarious AF.
            You can tell the analyst has some lip-reading skills, but he's careful about his choice of words.
            He says, "Lou appears to be saying..." instead of "What Lou is saying..."

            That's very important to me because, since the analyst doesn't know exactly what Lou is saying in that exchange with the umpire, he doesn't want his opinion to come across as fact.

                One guy trumps em all. Lee Elia:


                "Let my players get destroyed every day?"

                "The other 15% come out here."

                "They talk about the great support you get around here."

                      Billy's the last of the four-man starting rotation managers.
                      The 1980s began the five-man rotation.
                      Welcome to the six-man rotation era, where starters and bullpen each pitch five innings a game now.

                      Two things Billy hated were Reggie and bullpens.
