    Thanks for sharing. Was really curious about Jeff. I keep remembering saying that this team was built to win multiple championships...makes sense that he is still rooting for us.

    Here's an article about Luhnow and Atlantas GM. Didnt know all the details surrounding their GM and its interesting how this kind of flew under the radar for Atlanta. Great comments from Brett Strom as well

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/architects-two-world-series-teams-100147922.html

    Strom on Luhnow:
    He didn’t know (expletive) what was going on down here,’’ Strom told USA TODAY Sports. “He didn’t know. He didn’t get involved in people’s business. Now, should he have known? I don’t know.

    “But I knew more about it than he did. I sat right (expletive) there when I heard it. If anybody should have been (expletive) going out, it should have been me, and not him.

    “I was on the pitching side of things, and had nothing to do with that side of of the ball, but I was still part of the team.’’

    Good article thanks for posting. The quotes from Crane and Strom were very interesting. But this quote also stood out:

    “If not for Luhnow’s perceived arrogance, where several high-ranking employees say he took all of the credit for everything that worked, and blamed everyone else when it didn’t, he likely would have landed a job by now. He has plenty of professional acquaintances in the industry, but few close friends.”

    I think that’s the reason he was blamed and fired, and the reason he isn’t working in baseball today.

    Boys spray champagne all over each other, men drink the entire bottle.
