Well we finally got rid of Dusty. Although the season record wasn't entirely all his fault I think he was too much of a "player's manager" and I don't know about you, but I had enough of the tooth picks and arm bands. With his dismissal, it is time to move on and see if we can get a Manager in there that can help turn around 2007. I can't keep "waiting till next year" much longer!!
What I don't understand is what are we waiting for? Surely Jim Hendry has known for some time he was going to make this move on Baker. wouldn't you think he would have already had a list of potential candidiates to fill the vacancy? Florida fired and hired a replacement in two days and I might add the replacement they chose was a rumored potential candidate for the Cubs Manager. Now I see Texas will be looking for a new manager, along with Washington and San Francisco.
