The team seems like it's playing for him, and I suspect a lot of his unorthodoxy is rooted in desperation, trying to compete without enough players. I'll hold judgment until he has a real team.<br /><br />But while I don't think they'll be an in-season move, if there's no drastic improvement by the pitching, Ray Searage may become 2011's next guru.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-42054453023008194902010-05-03T18:00:40.449-04:002010-05-03T18:00:40.449-04:00Okay, so after all is said and done, the team basi...Okay, so after all is said and done, the team basically has about the same record---and the same hope, which is zero---that most folks predicted it would have heading into 2010. <br /><br /><br />So, I guess it's back to "anything positive on the field is a bonus, and otherwise pray for the cavalry to arrive soon". <br /><br /><br />I still say Russell and Kerrigan should be axed for their part in the single worst week in the entire history of Pirates baseball. Why not send a message if we're not going anywhere anyway? I think it would be an excellent warning shot across the bow of the incoming prospects. That, and hiring Bobby Valentine as soon as humanly possible.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
