Murray Chass v Bobby Valentine

Murray channels his inner-FJM to go after Bobby V.  Fun, if kind of pointless.  Welcome to the blogging world Murray… you fit right in.

I was amused by this:

Earlier in the season, McRae said, “He’s not a typical manager. He does weird and goofy things. . . . I’m not saying he’s right or wrong. He’s a different type manager and it’s our job to adjust to what he’s doing.”

Felipe Alou was once asked who he hated managing against, and he said Bobby V.  He said it’s not because he was the best or the worst, but because he was so unconventional, that it was hard to manage against him.  So, I found it amusing to read Brian McRae say practically the same thing that Alou said.
