Squinty Somehow 8th Most Likely to be Fired, Says Yahoo
Yahoo article on managerial firings.
Our own beloved John "Squinty" McLaren is somehow the last manager mentioned in an article about skippers on the chopping block early this season. Almost an afterthought, his chances of getting axed are only linked to a major front-office overhaul.
As much as the M's may mess up their valuation of players, how can Yahoo mess up this valuation of managers so badly? Even Bruce Bochy gets mentioned before Mac, and Bochy has probably exceeded expectations!

Yahoo = Not exactly the number one source for good sports writing.
I like midgets more than I should.
Factoring in the relative complacency of the FO
That’s actually not a bad assessment. it’s not that Squinty’s a suspect manager, because he is… it’s that the FO’s in no hurry to can him even with the team struggling.
LOU PINIELLA ISN'T WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR
ALVIN DAVIS ISN’T WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR.
KEN GRIFFEY JR ISN’T WAL- FUCK
Resurrect Darrell Johnson!

I still laugh
During the Rangers telecast, the announcer said that Squinty looks like a “possum in the headlights”. Cracked me up.
Place a call
to Bobby Valentine. At least he’d be able to communicate with Ichiro and Kenji and he’d be a damn site more entertaining than what you all have sitting in your dugout now. And you can absolutely not have Sweet Lou back. The Cubs need all the good karma they can get now.
Time is an illusion--lunch time doubly so.
