Well la-de-frickin'-dah! John Gibbons has outlasted Paul Maurice. Yet if the Toronto Blue Jays manager feels that his job is in any less jeopardy because of the clubs recent five-game winning streak, he didn't show it Wednesday. Asked why his office in the Blue Jays new clubhouse is still void of any pictures on the wall, Gibbons chuckled and said: "Premature."
Gibbons isn't resting any easier, apparently. Told that he was still the longest Toronto coach in terms of tenure, he scratched his head and said: "I've been here longer than (Sam) Mitchell?" Gibbons then said: "We're still in the cellar. We need to climb back into this thing. You're only as good as your last game."
Gibbons has never met Maurice or Mitchell - nor, for that matter, has he met Pinball Clemons which likely makes him the only person in Canada who has yet to do so.
(As for Maurice, here's an idea: he's a smart guy. Why not hire him to replace Chuck Swirsky on the FAN-590s mid-afternoon shift?)
