You are obviously wasting your talents and experience on this site. Why don't you contact MLB and impress them as much as you have us. I'm sure they'll offer you a job. I hear Joe Torre's job, or a piece of it, might become available.

You really need to upgrade the level of people you associate with...we don't deserve you. Honest. We really don't.
