rick ankiel is supposedly going to be called up to the cardinals any day now...as an outfielder.  he's leading his league in HRs right now.  how weird.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He was briefly on my MLB fantasy team... in 2001.

[Wingspan]

I paid my rent for 2 months selling his rookie cards on ebay.

Then he went bonkers.

Girardi turned down the Orioles job

[Rome]

He's a smart man.  The Orioles are a disaster of a franchise especially with Peter Angelos running things.

Girardi is holding out for the phils job according to Marzano

That's hilarious, even more so if true.

[SunMo]

he's a good manager, i'd take him

[ice grillin you]

i wont say giradi is a good or bad manager because i havent seen enough of him but jesus christ where does he come off turning down jobs

the guy has managed one year in his entire life and finished six games under .500

he could obviously be a fine manager....but i dont understand why people are falling over themselves to get him

[SunMo]

because he took a team with a 15 million dollar payroll and ONLY finished six games under .500

[ice grillin you]

the marlins have a ton of young talent...and have they gotten worse since he left?

i guess fredi gonzalez will be the next big thing since they are only three games under .500

[SD_Eagle5]

because he took a team with a 15 million dollar payroll and ONLY finished six games under .500

that and he's young and doesn't take any shtein.

[Seabiscuit36]

I'd love to see him in philly over Manuel anyday.  Girardi supposedly is really holding out for the Yanks spot, i have no idea where marzano got the Idea that the phils were the spot to go.

I would turn down the Orioles.  Heck, Perlozzo's probably breathing a sigh of relief right now.
