I was a proponent of Bobby Valentine, although I will say that I was fairly underwhelmed with all of the candidates. My thoughts were that as eccentric as Valentine was, he would have at least demanded a bit more from a front office he wasn't going to kowtow to. Acta seemed real smart in a 30 minute presser. He also said he had a month to prepare, in his little mysterious comment that he'd been talking to the Tribe longer than we thought...as PC mentioned.<br /><br />But sometimes it's really hard to wash the losing away...<br /><br />Manager of the future? I hope so...<br /><br />I'll say I'm cautiously optimistic..which is code for not really happy...but not sure I would have been with any of these guys...Boudreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581258819260116966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-76618209360646591792009-10-25T15:48:34.226-04:002009-10-25T15:48:34.226-04:00So it's Acta.

I really thought he was underwhelming in DC, but he'll have more to work with in Cleveland. If he can straighten out Fausto, I'll be signing his praises.ChooChooChooseUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467813732368284702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-12402328420072405562009-10-25T11:58:58.910-04:002009-10-25T11:58:58.910-04:00Fixed...carry on with the crusade.Fixed...carry on with the crusade.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-70038622148460676932009-10-25T10:12:05.587-04:002009-10-25T10:12:05.587-04:00“Maybe it’s an act, maybe he just doesn’t care, or...“Maybe it’s an act, maybe he just doesn’t care, or maybe he doesn’t feel that he needs to justify his candidacy to a group of writers whose opinion he could care less about.”<br />I am on a crusade to keep this incorrect use from being the norm. He could not care less. He cares so little that he couldn’t care less.scotto313https://www.blogger.com/profile/17579848474407465092noreply@blogger.com
