Khaled El-Ahmad

Uh, I, I, I did the math.

It's been 43 days since Khaled El-Ahmad pulled the, the, the Indianapolis Colts, the Baltimore Colts and left town in the middle of the night.

Wasn't quite like that, but you, you know what I mean.

Um, left the Loons without a CSO.

I, I, I don't think you can necessarily look at a guy who wasn't in charge and then tag him with decisions that went wrong when he wasn't in charge.

It, it's a little bit like you look at the decisions Derek Falvey made when he was the Twins general manager or Twins president of baseball operations or whatever his technical title was, and th- they had sort of a similar situation in which Falvey left on the eve of the season and they hired his right-hand man, Jeremy Zoll, to be the, be the general manager of the Twins.

Yes, Zoll and Falvey obviously worked together, but Zoll is different than Falvey and might have his own ways of looking at things, and I think if you look at this season with the Twins, they did do things differently, and I think the same would be true for Hank Stebbins and Khaled El-Ahmad.

Obviously, they worked together.
