D W was D-Dumb. Can’t forget D-Train and his 03 Florida Marlins win at Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, Dontrelle Willis’ last 5 years have been forgettable either due to poor team play or his various injuries. But J-Roll is the first Encinal position player since Pops to win it all. Jimmy Rollins’ Broad Street-Philly parade is scheduled for tomorrow. Log on to http://www.philly.com for further details.

Congratulations to Joe’s Times-Star readers! Encinal’s 29-year World Series drought is over! Can’t wait to read, hear, and watch J-Roll’s homecoming. Saw FOX-Philly’s website after the game and their helicopter view of the fans’ celebration would have covered two Island Cities. Blocks and blocks of Downtown Philadelphia let it all go. Suffice it to say when the A’s bring the Eastbay’s next title home in the next several years (likely not next year or the year after, and it won’t be the W’s or Raiders any time soon), any Oakland party will seem like a Sunday service. The several bonfires in Philly will blow any Internet surfer away. It was that incredible!

I like Carney’s intensity, something the A’s desperately need in the coaching ranks. Seems wrong that he’s coaching for the Giants and not the A’s.

Perhaps the other ex’A's could be Rickey Henderson. Rickey has been coaching with the Mets. And he will be going into the Hall Of Fame this year.

Just sign Big Mac, he could hit 30 HRs and K 200+ times just like Cust. But I would pay to see the now smaller McGwire.

How about getting Carney Lansford from across the Bay if you need a former A who can coach. Replace Ty Van Strike 3!
