McKeon Makes Presence Felt by Benching Hanley
By Tim Ryan
When approached by reporters and questioned as to why Hanley wasn’t in the lineup, McKeon simply responded, “because I didn’t put him in there.” That explanation was all kinds of old man awesome. Can you really blame the guy for being so brief? He’s got a baseball team to manage and road beef to pillage.
McKeon ended up finishing his night in the same sparkling manner in which it began. Following the Marlins 2-1 loss to the Angels, the renowned cigar lover sat in the dugout and lit up a stogie much to the horror of third base coach, Joey Espada.
The next three months or so with Captain Jack have a healthy chance of being refreshingly entertaining.
