Again, none. Some posters think they’re experts in running a baseball organization, but they’re not.
It takes years of experience in the industry to qualify for the job. Look at all the departments employees up and down the organization that the position is responsible for.
Simmer down Karen, this is just a thread to have a little fun. We aren't submitting and reviewing actual resumes
Okay, Suzie. Got it.
Lighten up, Francis and stop calling me Shirley.

I am the only logical choice for GM.

Easy.
Obvious.
Correct.

And it's not about me. Never about me.

ride....If you know what I mean.
Man, went back to the place and all

might be cocaine. I'm still not sure what
it was, but it hit me hard dude.
Like I am still buzzin a bit from it.
Stuff like than never happens in Omaha man

I pulled an all nighter and just slept ffor a few hours.
Sorry guys, I might have been given crack or something.
I can't shake this thing.
It was crazy.
The chick was great, but she left early this morning.
Man, I might need to go to the hospital.

This story automatically qualifies you to be the next Cardinal GM. You could do as well as Girsch even if under the influence of crack cocaine......... ::crazya:: You should send DeWitt your resume' immediately.

The below are whom I consider the most
savvy baseball contributors here.
If I missed you, sorry.
I might have missed a few that deserve to be
on this list.

I have the following contributors:

A. Melville
B. Rockondkouie
C. Mattmitch
D. An Old Friend
E. Ecleme
F. Futuregm
G. Craviduce

I am torn between Melville
and Rockondlouie.
I'd have to go with a two headed
monster of the two.
Be a (drat) good team :D :D
Appreciate the kind thought, but I am not interested in a demotion at this time.

No for real.
I have this late night job
normally I'm shot after 5 or 6 am.
I get off work around 3 am
Man, I saw her by Bar 39
and asked her if she needed a ride.
I've had some crazy [shirt] happen,
but this is out of bounds.
Anyway, she pulls out this stuff
I thought might be cocaine.
I told my buddy, he thinks it was
meth. She said cocaine, but now that
I think about it she was laughing too.
I don't know, I was just thinking about
other things and shouldn't do that.
Anyway, it was nuts. Normally, I'm dead
asleep in the afternoon. Couldn't sleep at all.
I mean crazy.
Don't work tonight, thank god.
Sorry about the board this morning.
My bad dude.
I wonder if I should go to the hospital?
I'm still a little shaky maybe moreso
than before. I don't know.

RBI rules, Mattmitch, Future GM (duh with that name). Others are good.
Even still, anyone here would make far more mistakes than Mo or Bloom.
Shady and Melville are the worst as one is plain dumb and the other thinks he’s smart but has no baseball savvy.

You need someone who knows baseball history, modern metrics, and has a good knowledge of players. Someone who is reasonable. logical, has a keen understanding of statistics; plus someone who is not a self aggrandizing egomaniac, and neither a complete jerk nor a total homer. And someone with enough political sense not to say: "Molina is overrated." (That leaves me out.)

The only poster here who might warrant an interview : RBI
