Mariners Hire World-Class Ranter

The Mariners have hired longtime coach and manager Lee Elia as a consultant. Elia--who had two tours as a Mariner coach in the 90s--will likely have no impact on what the Mariners do in 2008, but his hiring gives us all the excuse we need to post the below, which may be the greatest rant in the history of the world.

Elia was manager of the Cubs at the time. His team was on a bad losing streak and was really hearing it from the home fans. At the time, all Cubs games were played during the day. "85 percent of the fuckin' world is working, the other 15 percent come out here..." Enjoy!
