Just heard on the radio that Wally Backman has been fired as manager from the Diamondbacks after one week. Apparently he assaulted some chick (family friend) a few years back so the 'Backs fired him. Can you say "Wall of Shame"?

don't forget the dewey
Man, good thing I was too lazy to do an update. Arizona is a black hole for mediocre RBI'ers who want to manage...
This should be Wall of Shame #1 Entry.
Wally Backman - Raising the bar for all RBIers.
Agreed, it was virtually impossible to have a worse coaching tenure than Al Pedrique but Backman pulled it off. I salute you Wally!
The DBacks definitely fucked this one up.
-they hire Backman
-they find out about Backman's past transgressions but say it's okay
-days later it's apparently not okay and Backman gets fired
I'm hereby putting an RBI curse on the DBacks for not keeping their consecutive former RBI player turned major league manager alive.
DBacks should have hired Mark Grace in the first place
he played first base with a can of mase
I can see the D-Backs press release now:
"Whoops, we're sorry... our bad." :P
I think the press release should just say "Psyche!!!"

Does anyone understand this post? ShitPaw, what do you mean?
So who's going to be the new manager? If I were GM, this would be my short list:
- Candy Maldonado
- Juan Burenger
- Harry Spilman
- Tom Brookens
- Straw (to develop the young players)
And by develop you mean develop their taste for coke and hookers?
Doc Gooden could be his assistant to help in the development.

he used that mace in a wild card race.
It doesn't matter who manages the DBacks. They will be terrible either way. And I don't think Grace has a clue. He also needs to cut his fucking hair. The flat top needs to come back.
