During the 2010~2011 MLB offseason, finding THE new manager for the Toronto Blue Jays was kind of a big deal (well, in the Blue Jays blogosphere anyways). The Jays fans, by which I mean the Jays bloggers, were enthralled to get a manager who maybe wouldn't sit on his butt relentlessly through every game coughCitocough. Speculations were made, discussions arose, and maple boners were induced. Sometime in October of 2010, Anthopoulos, the GM of the Blue Jays who is also the second coming of the Messiah, chose John Farrell, the pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox, to be the new manager for his club. The fans, including me, were delighted, as Farrell's reputation was held very highly by those in MLB
Fast forward six months, and now the decision to make Farrell manager doesn't seem quite as good.
