He was also somewhat of a buffoon, and a know-it-all. The way he had Olerud play off the base to block the view of the baserunner was downright stupid, and there is a reason no one else has ever done this. He thinks he can outmanage anyone and all he does is piss people off. and, if anyone cares, he never won a world series. he teams played well down the stretch twice. if any current manager did what he did (for example, leaving Kenny Rogers in to walk in the final run of the 1999 season), he'd be hung up . . . but those were easier times. easy to romanticize the past. the guy was the way overrated as a manager.

Maybe Omar realizes that Jerry is not that bright a bulb and won this season despite himself. Maybe Omar saw how the team collapsed in the last two weeks of the season - AGAIN - and doesn't want to make the commitment that Manuel is seeking.

They needed a new outlook and new faces and new attitude..not the same one moved over on the bench. I feel the same now. Someone that's not with the organization can lend the insight and ideas that Manuel couldn't, because if he could, he would've done it in '07.
