The Most Fun Thing To Happen In Baseball Today
TORONTO (AP) - The slumping Seattle Mariners fired hitting coach Jeff Pentland on Monday and replaced him with special assistant Lee Elia.
Elia, who turns 71 next month, was Seattle's batting coach from 1993-97 and is perhaps best known for a tirade he once unleashed as manager of the Chicago Cubs.
Lee is vocal," Seattle manager John McLaren said. "He can pat you on the back and cheerlead you and, if he needs to, he can get in your face and challenge you. I've seen both sides of him."
After McLaren's "meltdown" I believe it makes sense to get Seattle the "real deal". Welcome back, Lee! I can't fucking wait.

you're welcome WU!
I think you, as the fanshot author, can edit it too, no?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

I did not know that.
I’m sure I will have every opportunity to do so in the future. I have to be the worst typist on this site, including Tdogg and WTGTD/SoB.
