At least according to some wang. Actually that Wang is a professor at Swarthmore who used manger tendencies to create charicatures of each manager. It's really quite interesting to take a boring analysis of the current mlb managers and create funny-looking faces from it.

Bud Black was really quite ordinary, almost identical to the league averages. But he is quite a contrast to Bruce Bochy (located right next to him, conveniently enough) who looks very much like a weirdo. Strangely enough, this method seems to have nailed Lou Pinella's smile just perfectly.

If you didn't follow the link above, here is the article and here is the picture.

Dex, I don't care how much more you keep adding to this....it's not going to knock jbox's gay softball pics off the front page. Valiant effort though.
