I was listening to MLB radio this morning on my way to work, and I cannot understand how Steve Phillips maintains a position in the world of baseball in any capacity.
They were talking about Francona's 2,000 win as a manager and what a great communicator he is, and blah, blah, blah. And then Phillips mentions that he passed over Francona for Art horsefeathers Howe to manage the Mets when he was the GM. And he was bragging about it, and not in a self-deprecating way.
