yeah I saw that. if Manny gets fired before Bowden does, I'll stop paying attention to this team.
I am in agreement with Bowden first. I may be delusional or oblivious, or both, but I am sure that some of these bone headed moves Manny has made in the last couple weeks would not have happened without the overbearing presence of Bowden breathing down his back. That is not to absolve Manny of all responsibility, I just think guys like WMP would not be playing as much and we might actually keep guys like Mock or Clippard instead of letting them pitch and then throwing them back down to the minors just to let some worn out bums take the rubber for a few more games. This morning in the post they had a pretty revealing quote, when Manny was asked whether Mock would be sent down after his performance, he replied "Thats a Jim question." While not explicit, I think it shows that Manny really has very little choice in many of the personnel decisions. Fire Bowden, give Manny a couple more weeks to show what he can do without the redheaded monster and then make a decision. END RANT
