Kim Ng to be the Mariners' next GM?

[realmofotalk]

SEATTLE -- Seattle Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said his team is vetting a wide range of general manager candidates, pointedly leaving open the possibility of Seattle hiring the first female general manager in major league history.

Highly regarded Los Angeles Dodgers assistant GM Kim Ng is considered an option.

The 39-year-old Ng has had her job for seven seasons and was a top adviser to New York Yankees' GM Brian Cashman before that. She was believed to be the final candidate beaten out by Ned Colletti when Los Angeles selected a new GM in 2005, and the Dodgers say she is the first woman to ever interview for a GM job.

She may be getting a second interview soon.

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I'm glad that the Mariners haven't targeted our other assistant GM. On the other hand, losing anybody not named Ned Colletti in the front office is a blow to the organization.

a) Nag
b) Neg
c) Nig
d) Nog
e) Nug

c) Nig

I'll go with this one since it sounds kind of offensive.

Nang, Nu-wong, Ong, Samo Hung, Inge maybe like Brandon Inge, Ing

Or maybe it could be like one of those "annoyed grunts" that Matt Groening loves so much, which gave birth to "d'oh". Like, "ugh".
