He started grousing at the umpire. Can't remember if he got tossed, but Leyland came out and gave the umpire hell. After the game, Leyland was asked if he thought Willis was getting squeezed. He smiled and said, basically, "Nah, he just needed me to come out there and stand up for him." That's a manager who understands how to take care of his guys.sittingstillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105481562528982426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574766998157088542.post-71393667624860779092011-10-07T09:40:43.392-04:002011-10-07T09:40:43.392-04:00Someone we could deploy in a "Man, you just w...Someone we could deploy in a "Man, you just wait til Jim gets here.
