Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Bud Black is an emotionless automaton.

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.

[Note by Dex, 04/02/08 4:38 PM EDT ] This is fascinating and here's a "thumbnail" of the photo along with Bud and Bochy highlighted:

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.

I was fine just letting it stay out there in the sidebar

Waaaaaay off.

Bochy's head needs to be printed on 11"x18" legal paper, this guy clearly hasn't done his homework.

I find it interesting

that by and large, the managers with the biggest heads have the worst teams. Is this because they're trying to do as much as possible to get what they can out of their team?

Charlie Manuel

So according to this...

Ron Washington is either Asian... or he doesn't like his runners moving?
