but that batshit crazy MFer completely quit after the Alabama series. He quit on the team and told them to go F themselves essentially by his actions. He decided right then he was pulling out and taking his flaccid penis on the road recruiting with 1/3 of the season to go.
That's fine. But don't look for me to rah rah until the Fer straightens that ******** out.
Because he was out recruiting and doing his job? You are aware that he was out recruiting after he got suspended during the UT series, which was before the Alabama series and was a series that we won.
Actually, this staff is recruiting as much as the NCAA will allow. If we were in Omaha this year, we would have been recruiting.
I swear, I can not believe that we're bitching out a coach for recruiting. I mean, hey! Let's just have a camp once a year and let the recruits go to that and see how that works out for us.
And Devil is right. The reason we lost was because we lacked talent, and I will say that we also lost some key pitchers to injury. Unless you believe that Cohen told Jet Butler to stand there and watch people take two bases after an error. There is not one team in baseball that wins a championship without talent. Connie Mack coached the A's for decades, and he is in the HOF, and he managed some of the worst teams in baseball history. He also coached some of the best. What was the difference? Players. It wasn't Connie Mack because if you look at his career, the A's had an era of very good teams, followed by horrible teams, and then they built back up. If Bobby Cox managed the Astros right now, I can guarantee you that they would still suck.
John Cohen may not be the next Joe Torre, but if he sucks as bad as you think he does as a manager, the best way to cover for that is to do what we are now- and that's recruit talent.
