I'm stunned. How could Riggleman do this?!

After all this winning?! The team is on freaking fire and he resigns?!

How many regular joes can say "Pay me next year or I quit right now" - what an ass.

Hopefully it's Porter and not McLaren.

I'm with Rizzo on this one - you don't necessarily extend him just because we've gone over .500.

You know what? freak Riggleman. You just turned your back on a fanbase wanting to accept you. Smooth move, dick.

freak 'em.

Okay:

1. I am pissed he quits on us with what sounds like the biggest douche move during this hot streak.

2. This is sort of good news but I would wish he wouldn't be such a prick and did it sometime LATER.

3. Goodbye to Double Switches... Goodbye to "good ballclubs, ballpark, ballplayer, balls"...

C'MON SON.

What the freak Giggles.

Bo Porter here's your shot.

Agreed.

Even JoePa coached 2 seasons on one year deal. Riggleman sucks.

He just threw his career down the drain. Good riddance.

Hopefully the pitcher still bats 8th

Really. This was an ultimatum. How stupid.

I really really really hope the team takes this well because this is an 11-1 run Riggleman is souring.

Fire Riggleman - wait his stupid ass quit and lost his salary.

This is a disgrace. We are the hottest team in baseball and now we're in the middle of a crisis and a public relations fiasco. This is TOTALLY Rizzo's fault -- something should have been worked out long before we reached this point!

Fire Rizzo?

Jim asked for a contract or else he'd bail. Rizzo was backed into a corner and didn't accept, from the sound of it. As of now, I'm siding with Rizzo.

I agree with this. What the freak?! If we had kept this play up for the rest of the season I would have had no problem inking him to an extension for a year or two.

Why demand something new now? This is crazy.

Half a season of good play and several season of crappy play and he wants a new extension?!

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #68:** June 23, 2011, 04:14:49 PM »

ARE YOU freakING NUTS?

This is RIZZO'S FAULT?

imref · « **Reply #69:** June 23, 2011, 04:15:00 PM »

I suspect there is more to this. Riggleman has probably been asking for the extension he deserved for a while now.

I am............disappointed.

Riggleman really, really, really sucks.

PatsNats28 · « **Reply #73:** June 23, 2011, 04:15:51 PM »

I don't blame Rizzo... it's not like Riggs is a world-beater, and if he's gonna pull this crap, who knows what else he'll do?

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #74:** June 23, 2011, 04:16:06 PM »

I hope the players just keep kicking ass just to spite him.

Make the playoffs and make him look like a fool.
