I've managed to avoid the wrath of Mr. B for a few weeks now, but after getting swept by the Twins at home he had a meeting put on my calendar. I knew he wasn't happy with our record, and he really wasn't happy with our attendance which was falling.

Of particular interest to Mr. B was our putrid offense, as we're last in every meaningful category and he felt our team just wasn't too exciting to watch. Of course building a team based on pitching and defense for an owner who like the long ball was probably not the best move for my career. He'd like to see someone held accountable, and was pushing for us to fire hitting coach Archie MacGillonie. He also let me know he was excited about the return of Luke Clark off the disabled list, who he felt was just the type of hitter we needed. The $27 million man is signed through 2090 and had just 3 at-bats for the Rays before getting hurt.

I told him that I'd take his recommendations into consideration before excusing myself. I was given complete control, and I'm going to continue to do build the team like I want even if that leads to my firing.
