Rays 4, O's 2: That's life!

That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

Tim Brown, who hates the Orioles, said that Trembley is the AL manager of the month

For what that’s worth.

that's expected

Anytime a sucky team over performs, manager accolades usually follow.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

it's worth nothing

Name something Trembley did that Joe Maddon didn’t. Or BOB GEREN, perhaps. Or Ozzie Guillen.

Joe Madden, Manager of the Month

Seriously, people. TAMPA BAY ended the month of April in 1st place.

The Rays have a much more talented team than the Orioles

So Trembley “managed” better than Maddon.

That's true....

but here’s the weird psychological take I have on why people think Trembley did so well – follow me here…

1) We know the O’s hitters suck
2) The rest of the BB world sees names they know – Payton, Huff, Millar, R. Hernandez – and assumes they’re at least competent MLB hitters, even know we know they’re not anymore.
3) Those “names” underperformed according to the expectations of the baseball media
4) The O’s finished the month 15-13 despite those performances thatw ere seemingly under par
5) That 15-13 record must be the result of a manager’s brilliance – it’s the only explanation, right?
