Why?  Would save money and be more effective than MW. If Siri is not good enough we can go with IBM Watson.

I don't think Siri is programmed to make those kinds of determinations. I may be wrong. Maybe the iPhone 6S will have that kind of functionality but I'm always weary of new technology.

Siri would be good.  Siri, Max has given up four runs and they are hitting line drives all over the park. We have two runners on. Should I pinch hit for him?

I think Matt's more of an android...

I dunno.  He seems pretty serious. I like the artificial intelligence in a manager vs no intelligence.

Just ran "fire Matt Williams" through Siri, and this thread tops the list.

I'm all for gender equality but - call me old fashioned - I don't know that I'm ready for a woman manager. That's just me.

I think Siri would be better suited in a front office role.

I hope that Jose Vidro gets a fair shot.

At Nats Park, they have a different kid each game announce the batters in the first inning.  Maybe they could extend this promotion to managing the team for home games.  On the road, Bob Carpenter can manage, or maybe another being of similar baseball knowledge, such as my dog, a magic 8-ball, or a roll of toilet paper.

In Canada we have labor laws which prevent this kind of exploitation of children.

It seems to me that you are looking for any alternative to Jose Vidro. I hate to think it's because of his sexual orientation.

I'm not sure making Bob manage the team is any more exploitative of him than making him broadcast the games, child though he may sound like at times ("B...but...Daddy, when is the Cawdinaws game on?").

Bob should be in school and our ownership should be ashamed of themselves resorting to exploiting child labor so that they can pad their bonuses at year end.

Shouldn't that be "labour" north of the border? And it's not shameful.  Those bonuses aren't going to pay themselves, unlike Bob, who's probably trying to steal FP's lunch money to buy himself an Adam Wainwright fathead.

I didn't want to offend anyone by spelling it "labour".

Why would the Cardinals run an off-season driving school?

I've posted this before, but Billy Ripken would probably make a better manager than Cal. He seems sharper, more quick witted, than Cal in person and players would love that dude.

You have too many freakin laws in Canada for my personal taste. Stop trying to emulate Europe or some other 2 nd world country.

I'm an enormous Expos fan, as are about ten or twenty of us on the board. I'll give you a tip: nobody else here cares about the Expos.

The Chief, who created this site in 2005 and owns WNFF, was an Expos fan.
