GENERAL MOTORS...OR MANAGERS; PLUS HORRIBLY UNRELATED HUSKY NOTE
From the P-I, Yankee GM Brian Cashman calls the Seattle GM position a dream job, and that the GM search is the "buzz of the industry."
Something that I thought needed explaining was the interview of assistant Tiger GM Al Avila. The article said he's probably not a likely choice, but "was with the Marlins...and was largely credited with helping rebuild the franchise after the roster was dismantled following Florida's 1997 World Series victory." Come on, I'm looking for a World Series next year, the year after that, and the year after that. I'm not looking for a World Series in five or six years (i.e., Marlins). I want it now, dammit. And the Mariners are far from rebuilding.
Short totally unrelated Husky football note: Softy on KJR thinks Cody Pickett is hurt. And in a similar problem, much in the same way that Brock Huard used to throw off his back foot, Cody Pickett (according to Softy) fixes his eyes on one half of the field and takes away half his pass options right away. And to think people were saying Pickett was a possible Heisman candidate before the season started....HAAA!!!
