WILL HE? ... OR WON'T HE?
January 29, 2008
Well now that the football season has come to an end and the Packers have ended their season a game early the only question on people's minds is will he, or won't he retire for next season. Craig McGrath has been around since it's all started as the Laker 1st base coach and as usual, McGrath has dragged out his announcement and put the Lakers organization on hold. "He is holding this team hostage" said center fielder and best friend Greg Aker, "I don't know what he is going to do. Only he knows that and I don't even know if he knows. But how are the Lakers supposed to know what off season moves to make if we don't know what Mullet is going to do?" The Lakers, who are coming off their worst season in franchise history, do not know whether to move on or plan for the veteran first base coach, turned bench coach due to first base not being in front of the home dugout last season. Fellow teammate and duck hunting partner Phil Karaba said "We just want him back. He's the best ever and has done so much for the game. He's earned the right to take his time and figure out things, but we just want him back... we need him back!" There are people questioning whether or not McGrath has lost a step, or whether he has the desire to go on. But there are others who want to see this man, this ambassador of the game, this legend ride off into the sunset as a champion. So the Lakers enter 2008 with a big question mark. Will Craig McGrath return to the bench in '08? Stay tuned...
