Goatriders of the Apocalypse

Baltimore kicks fans in nuts (again); MacPhail to join Orioles

In a move that can only be described as really, really fitting, Andy MacPhail has been slated to take over as King of Baltimore. The most incompetent franchise currently operating hiring the orchestrator of 12 years of misery? Awesome.

I'm not sure what happened to his supposed anointment as next commissioner of baseball, but apparently the universe has a better sense of humor than I gave it credit for. Go Universe.

Supposedly Girardi is going to take over as manager (mercifully cutting his ties to Fox), but until he does Tom Trebelhorn will take the reigns. MacPhail and Trebelhorn back together again! I'm thinking this would do well as a buddy-cop movie. Fail and Horn? Or, in Spanish, Horn y Fail? Could work.  Nevermind, apparently Trebelhorn won't be taking over after all. That's a shame.

I can't do justice to the many failing of MacFail, so let me just leave you with links to Mike's brilliant piece breaking down the many atrocities wrought by Dandy Andy.
