What Exactly Is Dallas Green’s Job?

16 02 2007

I wondered this as I read his most recent comment in the paper saying that “I’m here to be successful.  That’s my job.”

Wait.  What the hell IS your freaking job Dallas?  What do you, you know, DO?  Besides crawling out of the ooze every couple of years to berate one of the better players on the team, I mean.

Why does anyone give this guy credit for anything, and why has he been paid by the Phillies for some years now?  Because he was handed a bunch of talent in 1980 and didn’t fuck it up enough to lose the World Series?
