Florida Marlins fire manager

[captain_nintendo]

Marlins are really,really stupid


Girardi lost his job even though he's considered a strong candidate for NL manager of the year. The Marlins had baseball's youngest team and lowest payroll at $15 million, but Girardi led them to a 78-84 record, and they were in contention for a playoff berth until a late-September fade.


He was basically fired because the owner didn't like him.

Too bad the Reds Signed Narron through next year, but then I speak for many Cincinnatians when I say Castellini should fire Narron and rehire Pinella.

Yea, the Marlins are dopes.  He will get NL manager of the year and they already hired someone within hours of the firing!!  I never even heard of the schmoe before either.

Never heard of Girardi before?


I remember him when he was just starting out with the Cubs...many years ago.

No, the Gonzalez guy.  I remember Girardi back when he was a catcher with the Cubs and he will be there new manager (I predict).
