[Steve Conradt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a bad read, brought back some great memories. The chapters containg Bowa's thoughts and comments dragged on a bit and became somewhat repetitive. Good insight into the job of a manager on a team struggling on and off the field.

Bleep isn’t just the title. All the profanity in this book has “bleep” written instead. It’s horribly distracting. Might’ve been a cute gimmick for a magazine feature but not a full book. Either swear or don’t. Don’t treat the reader like a child.

This book is a must-read for Padre fans.

I would also recommend it for anyone who wonders what it's like to manage a really crappy team.

I find it hard to believe Larry Bowa got any job after reading this.
