Re: Bird Manager of Year

["Greg Odegaard" <gmodegaa@longvred.rmc.com>]

You know I have wondered for some time what is up with this Dan's take on
Bird.  What hasn't he done, heck he was even featured in SI's Father's Day
issue, along with our own Minor, a few weeks ago.  Larry must have run over
Dan's dog or worse.  For all of who read your posts on your contempt for
LB, do us the favor, in 50 words or less, and come clean on your serious
anti-Bird attitude.  At worst it might make for some hilarities on this
another significant milestone in his HOF career.

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused,
Greg
