With Bobby Cox in his final season as the Roadkill Skip he has been showered with gifts & accolades on the road. While leading the 'Kill to a lone NASBL championship during his 15 yr span with the club, nevertheless he has earned great respect in the league. That respect was tested during his final road trip against his long-time nemesis the NJ Trash Heap. Prior to the final game of the series he was presented with a cake by Heap Nation that obviously did not pass quality control. Roadkill Ace Adam Wainwright was not amused & battled NJT's Tim Lincecum to send Cox out on a winning note 4-3.Rumors persist that Fredi Gonzalez will take the reins in '12 in what most likely will be a continuation of a long-term rebuilding process. 1B coach Glenn Hubbard & Cox' trusted pitching coach Leo Mizzone contracts will not be extended following another dreadful season. With what projects to be a top 5 pick in the Rookie Draft, GRK will try to continue their recent success of #1 picks Matt Wieters & Mike Stanton.
