Not to play into a stereotype fed by eight years of the Sopranos, but don't J.P. and Assistant GM Tony LaCava look like they're about to cause some somebody some trouble? All due respect...The news from Bobby McLeod says that LaCava is being interviewed for the Seattle Mariners GM job, along with four other candidates. This is the second time in as many years that LaCava gets an interview, after being considered for the helm of his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates last year.
We've made barely veiled comments in these parts that the Jays might have a ready-made replacement for J.P. if the organization decides to tie the can to him. Not that we want to begrudge Tony any success, but we'd feel better if he were around to pick up the pieces and maintain some continuity should the Rogers brass decide to sacrifice Ricciardi as an appeasement to the unwashed stupid masses.
If Lacava gets the gig, does this make that Antholopolopothouloupolulis cat the "next in line" internal candidate?
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time spelling his name because, obviously, I'm overtly racist towards Greeks.
"Fourth place".
ReplyDeleteOh, how we're growing to hate those words.
Actually, Lloyd probably nailed it.
ReplyDeleteAck, Friedman came from Wall Street and Theo actually worked for the Padres before he came to Boston, so there were not internal so to speak like Brian Cashman was. You essentially need a different set of eyes to see how this organization can be bettered, because there is something wrong with this team in terms of injuries to pitching, lack of offense and lack of accountability. There needs to be a different philosophy with the Jays and the Golden Greek and LaCava all came under JP's aegis.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Jews and Catholics share that guilt thing and there are a lot of Jews that converted to Catholicism to hide their Yiddishness!
