Parting Shot at Lloyd McClendon
I didn’t have time to gloat about this when it happened last week but Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon is no former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon. Regular readers may remember my criticism of McClendon in the wake of the latest chapter of his war of words with former Pirate and current Met pitcher Kris Benson. The New York Daily News then joined me on the McClendon bashing bandwagon the next day.
I don’t know if it was some of the stupid things he said about Benson (and possibly other former Pirates players) or just the fact that he put together a spectacular string of 5 consecutive losing seasons in Pittsburgh that did him in. I’m inclined to believe it’s the latter but when the latter is true there is no justification for the former. Start winning a little bit, Lloyd. Then maybe people would be inclined to consider your words a little more seriously.
