The Sports Note

The O’s news of the day is that they’ve reportedly decided to extend Dave Trembley’s contract through the 2008 season. I’m in favor of this move. The O’s are 29-25 since Trembley took over and I like how they’ve been playing since Sam Perlazzo was let go (nothing against Mr. Perlazzo). The emphasis on running I enjoy (especially with B-Rob and Corey doing it). I like having the team stretch together and I like how he’s stood up to Tejada.

Its been quite the move up the ladder for Trembley, he started the year as the O’s bullpen coach. I’m glad Joe Girardi didn’t want this job, its worked out well with Dave. Interesting note, did you know Trembley is only the 7th major league manager in history to not have played professional ball? I didn’t.
