any coach/manager

[patsopinion]

if you can pick any coach/manager to start your franchise who are you going with

modern era: joe torre

if were going to go with any era: bill bellacheck- the way he prepares and his complete dedication to winning would translate

noteables:
walsh-the amount of coaches that have come out of his program alone is a good showing of what exactly he meant to the sport

Riley

not phil jackson(that lucky mother fucker should be in line to tell shaq what his ass tastes like)

That's my second choice. Pure genius.
A lot of Cards' fans hate him, but a lot of Cards' fans are retards.

[BoondockSaint]

George Bamberger.

Love Lasorda. Some departing players have said he hates blacks and that is why he never has any on the Cardinals. I thought that was bunk but then when you go back through history it seems true. To manage so long in the big leagues and not have blacks? Seems like you would keep one or two around to run the radio after games. just sayin...

Those batting helmets don't stay shiny on their own...

[Ricky24]

nice

[midwestjeff]

Love Lasorda.

We're talking about Tony LaRussa.

Move along Hollywood. The men are talking the sports.

[led37zep]

Giants Manager in the 1980's Roger Craig.


But thats based on nothing more than childhood memories really.

[K.C.]

We're talking about Tona LaRussa.

Who the fuck is Tona LaRussa????

Move along, hayseed. The MEN are talking sports!

:king:

[Ricky24]

you sumbitch! That's a typo and you know it. Now go bow down in front of your Kent Hrbeck shrine and lick it.

[DiabloSammich]

Tona Lasorda from the Cards.

Nice edit on my post. Dick.





Yeesh..I fucked that up.

[midwestjeff]

Tona Lasorda from the Cards.

It's Tony, not Tona, Diablo.

Any jerk would know that.

[K.C.]

Tona Lasorda from the Cards.

Tonya Lasorda's the best.

I remember when she hit that other broad in the knee with a steel pipe in the Olympics. That was hilarious!

jim thome has 525 home runs. i think he is like 62 behind frank robinson (estimating).
here's a question, after willie mays, who is the greatest living baseball player?

[IMSlacker]

if you can pick any coach/manager to start your franchise who are you going with

modern era: joe torre

if were going to go with any era: bill bellacheck- the way he prepares and his complete dedication to winning would translate

Aren't Joe Torre and Bill Belichick both the modern era? How could Belichik be the best of any era, but not the modern era? Are you even trying to make sense?

I'll take Jimmy Johnson, even though I hate the Cowboys.

Von Hayes.

[Marc with a c]

are we still counting ted williams?

[K.C.]

Barry Bonds.
(in response to Jay's question)

I'll take Jimmy Johnson, even though I hate the Cowboys.

As time goes on, I believe more and more that Jimmy was a great motivational speaker with average coaching skill who stumbled into some of the most talented people to play the game.

[K.C.]

Von Hayes.

Fuck yeah! Now we're talking!

Five-for-one! Five-for-one! Five-for-one!

[midwestjeff]

after willie mays, who is the greatest living baseball player?

Stan the Man.

[Ricky24]

Stan the Man.

BINGO! Musial is the most underated player in the game in my opinion.

[K.C.]

Schmidty's got to be top five on that best living player list.

And Carlton for best living pitcher.

[underdog]

You people can pick any coach or manager, and you're picking baseball managers.

The baseball manager could be the most overrated job in the entire United States.

If you want proof, DUSTY BAKER has coached teams into the playoffs. Dusty. Baker. And you guys somehow think a baseball manager is important? And the first coach mentioned in this thread had a guy with a career .347 OBP batting leadoff this year! Yeah, that's the guy I'm starting a franchise with.

Also, Jackson is lucky, but Torre isn't? Was Auerbach lucky, too?

[IMSlacker]

Well, he didn't exactly luck into them. He drafted them.

[cougarjake13]

Tona Lasorda from the Cards.

tony miceli

[Ricky24]

Auerbach! shit, I forgot about that guy. He picked all the players and gave them roles and they listened.

i felt like his abilities as a coach would be more transcendent and would be a better all time coach as far as the way he goes backward in time then torre would

im just going to change my answer to pure belichick

[jauble]

Cory Lidle

...

oh living...

[pladd]

Modern era: Mike Krzyzewski

All time: Eddie Robinson

[midwestjeff]

You people can pick any coach or manager, and you're picking baseball managers.


You people?

Fuck you man.
Don't bring race into this.

[pladd]

Well in that case I chose Rick Hendrick (is he considered a coach/manager?)

Seriously, Joe Torre? Does anyone know his record before he became the Yankees skipper (940-1052)? He is a very good manager for a veteran team but I wouldn't want him to start a franchise.

Belichek would be able to build a team.

Bill Walsh is another person I would call.

I don't think Lombardi's style would translate well into today's game

[El Mudo]

Lock it up
