What happened?

[beercats2000]

I'm not ready to see him and Dunc leave.

[Luca Toni]

He's trying to get fired imo....

I'm ready for a change....and no I don't want Osamabama as coach....

I wouldn't blame him one bit. He took a team that pretty much nobody thought would contend for anything and kept them in the hunt for a long time and all this without any help from the front office when it was clear they needed bullpen help. In my opinion, they pretty much crapped on him by not doing anything.

Why? I honestly think managers in general get way too much credit for what happens with a team.

Don't you think some team would let him be both GM and Manager?

He's not Mike Martz. Let's get real here.*

Well said. I think he may be tired of the front office and their promises every year to go out and get quality players.

No way. I don't think it's possible from a logistics standpoint.
