Hey, you're Sandy F. Alderson. The Nats are out and you're looking forward to rooting for some hot playoff action. The Cubs are dead to you, because they didn't carry René Rivera on their roster. But the Dodgers have Curtis Granderson and Justin Turner, the Astros have Collin and Buzzy McHugh and Carlos Beltran, and the Yankees, well, you can root for massive strikeout totals from Aaron Judge. But then you remember, 10 more experience managerial candidates left. You're down to 40, Sandy. Focus your Dartmouth-educated, Marine-honed mind. And pick THREE of these experienced MLB manager dudes. Mgr Age Team(s) Yrs From To W L W-L % Ties G> .500 G W Pst L Pstt W-L% Pst Best Fin Wrst Fin Av Rk Plyof App WS Won Penn Won ASG Mets Conn.

Cholula Hot Sauce is the delicious result of a generations-old recipe and a rich Mexican heritage. By using the ripest local ingredients and a creative blend of authentic spices, Cholula quickly became known as “el sabor perfecto”, the perfect flavor. That original recipe has gone unchanged over the years and now expands to four additional varieties, each featuring a memorable taste experience that holds true to the brand philosophy of enhancing while never overpowering. Cholula Hot Sauce celebrates the best taste experience. You can't explain it. You've tried. You just sometimes want a snack that's going to burn the ass right out of you. Well, for those times, nothing goes down like Cholula. At the ballpark or at home. In Sag Harbor or Suarez, it's Cholula! [fimg=650]http://www.cholula.com/images/about-aspot-hero.png[/fimg]

Whatever manager we choose, he must wear an iconic wooden cap.

Vote! It's winding down, I promise!

Sadly, none of the above.

Hale, Alomar, Farrell. Although that whole media-feud business bodes [SARCASM]SO very well[/SARCASM] for how JF would handle the media in NY.

You say "media feud business," and I hear "UNCAP REAL FLAVOR!"
