excerpt ..
“When a coach quits in the middle of the year and ruins a bunch of people’s families and doesn’t have enough guts to finish out the year, I’m not a part of it,” Zimmer told the Cincinnati media. “And you can put that in the Arkansas News Gazette. I don’t really give a (bleep). He’s a coward, he ruined a bunch of people’s lives, a bunch of families, kids, because he didn’t have enough (guts) to stay there and finish the job.

I just emailed this link to the Ark Gazette.

Dothan Ala. Native, Matt Cain, Giants' Starting Pitcher Today In NLCS

Posted by The Meck - Oct 19, 2010 4:59p/ct.

Matt Cain is the starting RH pitcher for the SF Giants today in the NLCS.
He was born in Dothan, Ala [ The Meck's birthplace and hometown].
Matt Cain is one of the best pitchers in the National League.
He graduated from Houston High School in Germantown Tenn.
Cain was a 1st Round pick of the Giants in 2002. His ML debut was in 2005 at age 20.

I like the Giants mainly because they have one of the best mgrs in the game, Bruce Bochy.
And he's a great guy. Had the privelege of knowing Bochy when he managed the SD Padres.
He's a classy, kind man. Bochy knows how to communicate with people.
And he knows how to treat people and his players with class.
That translates into winning .. no matter what you're doing.
Bruce Bochy reminds me a lot of Bobby Cox.

The Giants have been my NLCS pick for several months.
Their starting and relief pitching makes them very capable of winning it all.
No one believed any team had a chance vs the Phils' pitching.
I'm picking the Giants to win the NLCS and the World Series.
NLCS Game 3 started today at 4/3ct on Fox.

Here's a Wikopedia link plus a SF Giants link on Cain's up-to-date stats.

This a great article on Fredi Gonzalez, the new Braves manager.
Very informative and inspiring.
It's no mystery why Gonzalez is a success and so highly thought
of by Bobby Cox and the Braves organization.
No doubt .. The Braves are in reliable hands with a very capable baseball man, Fredi Gonzalez.
A very hard working, good man.

Steve Hummer / ajc.com gives an inside, detalied look at the man, Fredi Gonzalez.

Bingo Defendants Plead Not Guilty; Learn Of Evidence - Oct 15, 2010

Posted By The Meck Oct 15, 2010

Link to Story
http://www2.dothaneagle.com/news/2010/oct/15/bingo-defendants-plead-not-guilty-ar-966809/


A Classic quote from Attorney Jim Parkman
Parkman said he believed accusers would eventually have to do a “Mark Spitz” and “end up having to do the backstroke” before the case was over. Spitz is a former Olympic swimmer.



He also said he expected a long trial, stating it could take six months.“Probably the statute of limitations will pass before we finish this case,” Parkman said.

Famed Criminal Defense Attorney Jim Parkman Hired By Sen Harri Anne Smith

The Meck has learned that famed criminal defense attorney, Jim Parkman,
has been hired by [Ala] Sen. Harri Anne Smith to represent her in her federal criminal case.
I was informed this afternoon by a source that Parkman had been hired by Harri Anne.
I called Jim Parkman a few minutes ago and he confirmed it.
The final details were worked out this afternoon between he and Harri Anne.

Jim Parkman is no stranger to defending his clients against the federal government.
He and Donald Watkins defended Richard Scrushy in the HealthSouth fraud case in 2005.
And Scrushy was found not guilty. They won the largest corporate fraud case in U.S. history, $2.8 Billion.
There is no one better than Jim Parkman in the courtroom. No one.
Just ask the 12 that agreed with him in the Scrushy Case.

This was Harri Anne's best decision hiring Jim Parkman.
It levels the playing field with the federal government.
Simply put .. Parkman doesn't play. He even quit recess.

As Donald Watkins said: 'Parkman reminds me of Palidan.'
That's why Donald brought Parkman on the team in the Scrushy trial. He delivered.
Great decision by Harri Anne to hire Parkman. Her chances are better than they were yesterday.
Bingo. That was a Goody. No Doubt.

The Meck will have an interview with Jim Parkman in the next few days.
Write On.

FREDI GONZALEZ WILL BE NEW BRAVES MANAGER -- OCT 13, 2010

David O'Brien, the Braves beat writer for AJC.com broke the story several hrs ago.
Fredi Gonzalez will be the Braves new manager.
The announcement will be Thurs at a press conf.

Fredi Gonzalez is a great choice to follow in the footsteps of Bobby Cox, his mentor.
Fredi was a 3rd base coach for the Braves before being hired as Marlins mgr in 2007.
He was fired this past summer by the Marlins and Bobby Cox was not at all happy
about the way his good friend was treated and said so.
The Marlins showed no class by being the only ML team to not honor Bobby Cox in his last visit to their city.

Gonzalez is a real good manager and a Bobby Cox disciple.
He has the Bobby Cox demeanor. Upbeat. Positive. What You See Is What You Get.
I always enjoyed talking to Fredi when he was the 3rd base coach. He's consistent with class.

To be honest .. I really thought they should hire Fredi Gonzalez.
They got it right for the future in a BIG way with Fredi Gonzalez.
He's a winner.
Now .. The Braves need to invest in more ML Starters, not just role players.

Here's the link from David O'Brien - ajc.com - the man with the scoop.

Bobby Cox Press Conf is today, Wed.
