After winning 99 in 2005 (granted that team's expected W-L was 91-71). They were 72-90 in 2007. They briefly returned to the postseason in 2008 before reverting to mediocrity. They did go 88-74 in 2010, but they never really threatened the Twins or the Rays/Yanks (WC).
All true and good. My point, encapsulated in a brief sentence, was that Guillen was not a bad manager in my opinion. He’s just an ass.

I would've preferred him.

If you're gonna suck, it might as well be fun.

Plus, Tigers are like 98% Latino.

Yeah, he's a good manager but don't know if he's the right manager for the Tigers given the situation they are currently in.

He knew how to use a bullpen unlike that jamoke Ventura.
He can take the heat off the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.


There's a genuine appreciation of being a punching bag outta that guy.

Good for Gardy.

Nice retirement job for him.

No expectations and a bottom 5-8 farm system. His first 2 years there will be exactly like his last 4 were here.

Plus, even if they let him go, he probably got a 3 year deal, so it's a nice cushion for him if (or when) things don't work out.

Enjoy Rick Anderson boys. "Pitch to contact", now that was a classic!

His name sounds like he should have been hired to be the new groundskeeper.
