No Go for Joe? ESPNews says so!

The Orioles should get right to interviewing and hiring Davey Johnson.

But, on to more important things, like interviewing DAVEY FUCKING JOHNSON.

So we lose our #1 target because Petey's being too cheap?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

Link included in main story now.

I kind of fell for Johnson when he said he said the following:

"My kids were born in Baltimore, I grew up in the organization, I had the opportunity to come back and manage it. You know where your roots are, where your heart is and you want them to continue to be good."

Yeah, perhaps I'm a sap and Johnson was just saying the polite thing. But can you imagine Giradi giving a damn about Baltimore and brining back good baseball to a town that is starving for it? Joe is all bout Joe.

A bit off topic. This is the kind of statement that is lacking from the Warehouse. Most (all?) of their statements are wordsmithed bullshit that tend to reek insincerity.

Anyhow, a Johnson return could be a dud, but this is one time I wouldn't mind being a bit parochial in my outlook.

Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.
