Manuel and Hargrove Fired

White Sox Fire Manuel.

 

Hargrove Fired by Balitmore.

Any ideas on where these guys will be going?

 

Manuel might get another job as a coach.

 

Hargrove.. maybe not

 

Also.. I hear LaRussa is the guy that Chicago wants. The White Sox would have to compensate the Cardinals for LaRussa, right? (like Winn for Piniella)

 

How about Carlos Lee to the Cardinals for TLR (moving Pujols to First Base)? I know the Cardinals are looking to cutdown on salaries (Tino is gone after this year)

 

I hear Eddie Murray is the next manager in Baltimore. Which is good if you like the idea of what Trammell has done in Detroit.

 

What happened to Cito Gaston?

Carlos Lee is too high of a price to pay for an overrated, has-been manager whose specialty is micromanaging his way into one playoff failure after another.

 

Oh, and, from where I sit, Hargrove got screwed. It's not his fault if the talent he has isn't much good and his team is stuck in the same division as Boston and the Evil Empire.

I was going to suggest Magglio for TLR

 

hahaha..

 

 

so, should KC fans want LaRussa in Chicago?

No, I wouldn't. LaRussa, for all his faults, usually has some pretty good teams that can make life difficult for division foes.

 

You Royals fans should support a "Kevin Kennedy for White Sox Manager" campaign and let him lead the White Sox down the shitter. Then just blow up the Metrodome to get rid of the Twinkies and you guys should be home free.

and Besides, St.Louis extended LaRussa's Contract so I don't think he's going anywheres..

[Rob E Dangerously 0]

Sox.. Bring back Terry Bevington!

[Guest Choken One]

What's Davy Johnson up to these days?

What happened to Cito Gaston?

Getting blackballed by THE MAN.

 

Well, it seems like it, anyways. The guy managed the Jays to back-to-back World Series, so you'd think that there would be some takers. However, Gaston is not your guy if you're rebuilding - he can make a good team better, but he can't make a bad team good.

I think Hargrove should have been given 1 more year. This years team did better than last despite an absolute TON of injuries. The pitching staff will be infinitely better next year with Moss and Ainsworth in the rotation, not even counting the chance of picking up a Free Agent in the offseason. And the offense is supposedly going to get a serious upgrade next year as well. I think its obvious that trading Conine to the Marlins allows them to move Gibbons to first and get Vlad to patrol Right Field at Camden for the next several years to come. If Hargrove couldn't take next years team to at least a .500 season, then I'd fire him..but at least give him a chance with some good players.

 

The rumored possible coaches Im hearing about are Eddie Murray, Current base coaches Sam Perlozzo and Rick Dempsy, Jerry Narron and Don Baylor.

 

I can't see Eddie Murray as a manager, but thats who I figure will get the job.

Someone get Teddy Long on the phone. Cito needs to do some thuggin' and buggin'.

 

Beleedat.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

What did he get blackballed for exactly? I've wondered myself where he's been all these years.

[Bored 0]

I think I heard Gaston is a complete asshole and no one wants to play for him but I could be wrong.

Meanwhile in other news

 

Tom Gamboa was fired by the Royals.

 

Then again, he was the bullpen coach and the Royals bullpen ERA was the worst in baseball

Likewise. I was surprised to hear that Hargrove got fired, really. My hopes for the Beattie/Flanagan Regime were apparently too high, however. Considering the final AL East standings have been the same for the past six season, and considering the Orioles have made no appreciabe talent upgrades during that time, one would think Hargrove would get a chance to manage next year's team, which looks to have more talent than in years past.

 

I've long been convinced the Orioles would be better off if the Angelos family would just vanish from the face of the earth. This is the latest proof of that.

That hearing problem he suffered from after that attack in Chicago, most of made him think Pena was asking for Jason Grimsley when he really wanted Dan Quissenberry.

It's the 3 total collapses the O's have had the last 3 years that did Hargrove in.

[Dr. Tom 0]

Total collapses? His team didn't have that much talent. Playing over your head and then coming back to earth does not equal a collapse.
