... Another award goes to a complete jackass. Do I expect the Rockies to come back to earth next year? Yes. Do I expect Mr. Tracy to survive to the end of his contract? Absolutely not. Go manage in Japan where your idiocy can be translated into some kinda zen saying. On a side note, do you think that some of these managers would benefit from a double translator? Imagine if some of those quotes were translated into Japanese and then back by two different translators. Would the asinine become profound? It would be the opposite of "lost in translation." Call it gained in translation, |

Not big in Japan... However, on Sunday of opening weekend in 1984, he suddenly announced he was leaving the team and the country. He was upset about being taken out of that third game of the year after he walked in the ninth inning of a tie game and was removed for a pinch runner by Whales manager Junzo Sekine. http://www.baseballthinkfactor...eign_play ers_25_years_ago/ |

... Piffle. Another People's Choice or MTV award. Nothing reflective of actual quality. Let's move on. I DO like the way you guys interview yourselves though. That's vintage Tracy. Except your questions were coherent and your answers made sense. |

... Does anyone have the link to a Pittsburgh paper article (Post Gazette or Trib) written about Tracy following his firing? Whoever wrote it tore into Tracy and basically called him an awful manager (I agreed with his statements). I wanted to show it to someone. Anyone know what I'm talking about? |
