On the Reds firing Jerry Narron.
Here's an idea..."He's a good manager," said president and CEO Bob Castellini. "I believe he'll be a manager again."
Chin:Uhh... you just fired the guy. I don't think he or anyone cares if you blow smoke up his ass or not. Please stop. "As a person, as a baseball man, a passionate, caring, wanting-to-do-the-right-thing, respecting-the-game ... I can't say enough good things about Jerry Narron," said Wayne Krivsky, the GM who had just fired him.
Chin::
This guy sounds swell. If he asked permission to take my daughter out, I might let him...
I hope these weren't the qualities you were looking for in a manager or anything. If they were, you just screwed up. But let's hope for your sake, they weren't, and you might be ok. Who am I kidding, you're still the Cincifreakinnati Reds. Eeeekkkk...Chin:Well, apparently you could say enough good things, because you stopped. And he's fired. And you're still the Reds. And you'll always blow, even though Joe Morgan probably has you picked to win the WS this year. In fact, I think Joe may have mentioned something about coming out of retirement to take Brandon Phillip's job. Keep your eyes peeled. "He's a fine human being," Castellini said. "And he cares more than anybody knows."
Chin:Wait... what...does this... have to do... with anything? I'm sure he's a fine human being. So was Mother Theresa, but we're not gonna give her a playbook and let her call the shots are we? And yes, I'm sure he cares more than anbody (anybody in the whole wide freaking world) knows. What he cares about is irrelevant apparently, because cares more.
