you think Mo has such a poor track record that a 3 year - 90Tiger MU - 7/16 14:25:50

Mo sucks but he's not going anywhere so no point - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 14:33:26

Why is he protected?(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 14:34:01

Dewitt loves him - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 14:35:11

Girsch has no job. He barely spoke in the press conference. - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 14:51:28

Girsch makes my skin crawl. He better do something soon or - Uncle John MU

- 7/16 14:37:23

He's a puppet for Mo - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 14:38:54

They didn't have a star but they had a solid core - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 14:28:54

And he won with them. Made it to 4 NLCS without Albert(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 14:29:26

Byrnes would certainly know about lack of talent - Mormad MU - 7/16 14:39:50

Poor mans Harrison Bader - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 14:40:54

True, if Bader never develops into more - Mormad MU - 7/16 14:43:46
