So instead of posting a 2009 Chachi card celebrating Jamie Moyer's 250th win tonight . . . I guess I'll post a card of Larry Bowa.One of the best things about Jayson Werth's steal of home last night was Larry Bowa's reaction from the Dodgers' dugout. Bowa was disgusted. He actually had to leave the dugout and head back to the clubhouse to hide his disdain. It's that fiery temperament the fans loved, but apparently his players hated.
Larry managed the Phils from 2001 until 2004. He closed the Vet and opened the Bank. He never led the team into the Postseason, but most everyone (myself included) lamented his firing at the end of the 2004 season. We lamented the hiring of Charlie Manuel even more, but Charlie was able to lead the team to a World Championship. I guess that shows what we know.
Larry...Larry...Larry
