For the first time in 10 years, a World Series game was postponed due to rain. MLB officials kept fans and players alike, waiting anxiously for hours before calling off game 4. The night was not, however, a complete wash for baseball fans wanting some entertainment. It turns out, both managers teamed up to provide sports fans some long awaited entertainment.

Detroit Tiger’s manager Jimmy “the chimney” Leyland apparently spent the night shortening his life span and tightening his already leathery complexion. “I smoked about a carton, probably the worst day of the year for my lungs,” he said. First of all, notice he didn’t say of his LIFE? That means at some point the old man smoked more than he did tonight, during a three hour rain delay with his heavily favored team down 2 games to 1 in the World Series? Wow. And, since the forecast for the next two days calls for more rain, throwing the entire World Series schedule out of whack, would someone please make Jimmy switch to lights for a while? I’m just sayin is all…

Not to be out done, St. Louis Cardinals’ manager, Tony LaRusa, reportedly spent the evening with actor Billy Bob Thornton. Yes, THAT Billy Bob Thornton. I understand that Thornton was in the remake of The Bad News Bears last year but come on, Tony.

With their team poised to capture their first World Series title in over twenty years, is this really who Cardinal fans (myself included) want to see their manager hanging out with? I think Tony should take up smoking…
