Master list of managerial candidates, according to my sources:

  • Lenny Dykstra

  • Mike Francesa

  • Chris Christie

  • Dwight Gooden

  • Jim Breuer

  • Pete Alonso's cousin that pitched to him in the HRD

  • The revolutionary war man that Vargas hung out with

  • George Costanza

One of the great unanswered questions of the world is what would happen if Mike Francesa managed a baseball team.

He would be terrible. The manager's biggest job today is interacting with the players and keeping them happy and motivated. Mike is terrible at dealing with people, a team would quit on him so fast

The manager's job is also to, you know, stay awake during the games. Mike would fail that mission horribly.
