All Good Things Have Endings: 10/3 Game Thread, Jays at Orioles
Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, Oct 3, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Yesterday's game was some kind of ugly, though I enjoyed watching the Twins come within 1 game of the Tigers - the Central is an exciting division.
Tonight, Scott Richmond pitches for the corvids while former Jay Mark Hendrickson goes for the icteridae in the battle for Passeriformes supremacy (at least in the AL, the Cardinals pretty clearly reign supreme in all of baseball.
I won't be around for tonight's game as I have my end-of-season softball tournament this afternoon and plans for an epic Beatles Rock Band tourney later on, but drop into the game threads, which have stayed strong despite the season being almost over.
Today's title from the song "Forgive and Forget" by the Get Up Kids - with the lyric fitting the final series of the season while using the strong struck me given the Cito situation, not to mention Ricciardi's firing.

nope, but bastian tweeted or twittered this:
“Anthopoulos will be the general manager going forward, unless the new president (whenever he is hired) decides to bring in his own GM.”
yep
saw that .. i was looking for something more “tangible”
well, it is just that there are some articles that say he is interim and some are silent on the topic … so I was looking for clarification
sure I understand bastian’s point that until new Pres gets in interim is defacto effective but I am looking for clarification on the ambiguity as to whether or not the “interim” label was attached
It scares me a bit, doesn't AA come from an admn side of the game?
I’d prefer a scout type gm or experienced gm in this spot, I’d actually prefer Lacava to AA
i think there was an article that said there are only 3 or so AL GM’s who have actual playing experience
I believe writeups have indicated that AA has some experience with scouting or do I have that wrong?
I would have prefered him to say we'll assess everyone in
the organization when the season is over when asked about Cito rather than full out endorse him for 2010 mind you. First day and all, but Cito has been bad for this team
because you want o sound like you are supporting the guy
you don’t want, if he is the guy next year, a sound bite making it sound like you didn’t want him.
well I just think he's starting out on lie or
endorsing someone who has to go, I see no problem with “we’ll assess everyone in the organization at the end of the year”
Well I'm going to have to agree with the post
over at DJF’s on this one, I don’t like the full out endorsement, I find Cito so bad for this team, I guess we’ll have to wait for the offseason to see how this unfolds
oh I'm not a fan Cito...
but you need to do the GM job right, can’t make it seem like you might not support a guy that you may end up keeping.
well second in command is always the guy that can move up
but I figured we’d ahve a new pres and a new GM picked by him
In some article written today Blair thinks perhaps JP leaked the citogate
story and they upped their firing time by 48 hours because of it
too bad for richmond
he didnt look that bad, he was given a pretty inconsistent strike zone and the big inning could have easily been avoided with some average defense
Jays drive me nuts they have no news for months on end...
then I have a busy weekend and plan to be away from the computer for a bit…and they have a players mutiny and fire the GM in two days.
u too
enjoy the remainder of your vacation
well, what cna you say
another questionable outing by Accardo
