Twice.  Once at the description of Niehaus' double call, and once at the TV reporter's 're-boot'.  : )  Gracias.
Seems like the blogosphere is always clamoring for a move a coupla three weeks before this org takes action.  Some blog wanted Langerhans, a couple weeks later there he is.  Internet denizens shrieking about RJ's passed balls, 20 days later Wak is benching him and telling the media he's going to go with the catcher who can catch the ball.  Etc.
Most M's fan of the keyboard-jockey variety would probably see this as a vindication of their savvy.  Sure, it indicates an alertness and astuteness which is admirable.  But like Z says, he sees the same things everyone else sees.  It's not like it's rocket science to see that KGJ is popping out to short with alarming regularity.
More, it indicates to me the sophistication of the org.  They act decisively, in a timely manner, but *with patience*.  This is a big key to leadership IMO.  The M's are adapting to the circumstances, but they are not knee-jerk reactions.
The M's are shaping in to an org that is like the A's in its agility, but with a bit more maturity - patience - and a lot more money.  Dassa good recipe.
