In today’s New York Times, Billy Witz printed a fantastic article about Orange Co. Flyers skipper Gary Carter, and his obsession to get back to the bigs as a manager.
Without re-printing the entire article, here are a few stellar quotes:
On managing in the Golden League:
“I thought, ‘O.K., well, here’s a golden opportunity,’ ” Carter said. “Like the wording — golden?”
Wow…what a skilled wordsmith. Wit like that just may get you out of ‘tarp duty’ the next time it rains, douchekid.
On realizing Citi Field is not going to be his future home:
“Now I’d love nothing more than to have an opportunity of managing a team and beat the heck out of them.”
‘Now’?? You tried to get the job three fucking weeks ago…but ‘now’ you have decided you want to beat them? As if that will somehow help your resume. “Yes sir, I know I would be lucky the Nationals would even consider me, but know this…I really want to beat the heck out of the Mets!”
You’re hired!!
This mental midget acts like just because he’s in the HOF, he is entitled to and should be instantly granted whatever job he desires.
As a matter of fact, here’s another quote about his current job in the lowest level of professional sports:
“How many Hall of Famers do you know that would do that?”
Well…Ryne Sandberg is doing it the right way.
Even his players are sick of him:
“You don’t expect that from a Hall of Famer,” said Matt Merricks, a pitcher for the Flyers.
The final scrumptious nugget, when Carter realizes the interview may not be the puff-piece about which he had obviously prayed:
“If I’m thrown under the bus because of my desires to one day manage in the major leagues, then every one of you guys don’t ever come to me again. Period. Am I clear?”
Crystal, kiddo.
One more question…how will we find you?
