How would you feel if Cal Ripken managed another MLB team?

I know he doesn't have a spot here with Buck likely here for the long term, but it would be tough to see him in another uniform.

I'd be sad. And He would get fired. And then I'd be sad all over. He says no one has every called and asked.

I understand the question but I think the idea is HIGHLY unlikely.

Cal doesn't want to manage. He likes teaching (not quite the same as managing) and he likes the freedom of doing his own thing. I think Cal would consent to be a "special adviser" to someone one day, but I don't think he'll ever have a full time job with any professional club.

Depends who it is. If it's someone like the Yankees, Red Sox, or Nationals, pretty unhappy. Otherwise...somewhat indifferent with a new marginal rooting interest.

He has been gone so long now that I really dont care anymore. Heck he could manage the Yankees and I wouldnt care that much.

[Camden_yardbird]

Gibson isn't managing the dodgers. Mattingly isn't managing the Yankees. Sandberg isn't managing the Cubs.

It would hurt, but its also pretty likely.

I really couldn't care less. If he turned down the O's job to go somewhere else, I'd be pretty upset. But with the O's job filled, I really don't care. I suppose I'd be irritated if he managed a team in the AL East, especially NY or Boston. I'd be fine if he managed the Nats, though I know some people here can't stand them.

I wouldn't care. Ever since the sorry Brooksie episode it's clear Cal is a Cal fan before he's an Orioles fan, He's part of the MSM culture. Wouldn't be surprised to see him managing the MFY if Gerardi goes to the Cubs.

No it wouldn't bother me at all. His connection to the O's is in the past. I think

some would be upset. What Cal does in his personal life is of no concern to me.

I'd be happy he's managing another team instead of the O's. I don't think I would like him to manage the O's. I liked watching him play. Otherwise, he gets on my nerves.

I think I am the "some."

[mrbig1]

He would be dead to me.

You're certainly in that category. There was an article in the Washington Post a few days ago saying that Jayson Werth wants Cal to me the Nats' next manager. I was going to post the article but decided not to so you wouldn't have a stroke!

My Orioles idol was the first Nats' manager, and they've just had Davey Johnson for two years, so why would I care if Cal managed them? It's not like they've got their own Hall if Famer who can manage the team, so let them keep borrowing ours!

If you guys ever drop that grudge, let us know. It seems pretty heavy and might roll around a bit, so we'll want to be on the lookout so that we can dodge it if need be.

I say have at it but JMHO I don't think Cal would make a very good manager.
