MLB Daily Thread: No place like home....

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Royals are done. They have been napping for the last 6 weeks, or so. They peaked too early.

It seems the 'Stros prefer KC style bbq more than the Texas style....

The Mariners have fired mgr Lloyd McClendon.

His firing leaves MLB with no African-American managers. Last season that happened was 1987. There's currently 3 managerial openings.

Yeah....none of the African Americans who have had managerial jobs have done much to distinguish themselves. Dusty Baker? He's famous for destroying young arms. Ron Washington? Seemed like a good manager, but couldn't lay off the nose candy. Don Baylor?? Meh.

 

[chappee11]

Wasn't that said about the Astros, too?

Of course, its true with the Royals if they lose this game.

That's a good point. The Astros WERE napping. But winning the wild card game is a huge boost. Now they are on a mission with Kuechel looming in game 3....at home!

That's a good call. I haven't heard his name in a long time. Is he a bench coach somewhere?

Not sure...but last I heard he was a coach in either baltimore or milwaukee ??

Lackey obviously read this thread earlier today.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Home team finally got one...

Lackey is lucky to be in the NL. I can't say much more than that. He was washed up and terrible in Boston at 32. But he's dominant in STL at 36. Doesn't add up.

and will another 2

Probably for the best. You've had an uphill battle on this one all day.

Memphis and KC barbecue >>>> Texas barbecue.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

John Lackey isn't scaring ANYONE. Worst game 1 starter for any of the playoff teams.

I'm sure the Cardinals are super disappointed that they didn't have anyone scary and had to go with the worst game 1 starter for any of the playoff teams.
