He's a columnist's dream.

Two days after being released by the Chicago White Sox, the irrepressible skipper was hired to manage the NL's most unpredictable team, the Florida Marlins. http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/don_mckee/20110928_Touch__Em_All__Gallardo_to_pitch_in_Game_1_for_Brewers.html Even before they found out who or where they're playing, the Milwaukee Brewers decided to hand the ball to Yovani Gallardo for Game 1 of the NL division series. http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/don_mckee/20110927_Touch__Em_All__Rays_can_erase_1964_memories.html Here's a compelling reason for Phillies fans to root for Tampa Bay to catch Boston in the AL wild-card race.
