for what its worth, I LOVE the fact that Mike Shildt is MY manager....this is a guy who has all the basees covered, so to speak. And I often get the sense that he is a man on a mission. That mission is to bring Mr Seidler's dream to fruition...a WS parade in SD. I didnt think there was another manager who could change my mind after Bob was hired. But after Bob was let go, Mike Shildt was the guy I felt could take us where Bob wasnt able to.
