After what he did with the Marlins this season, this is just absolutely sickening.

Re: Joe Girardi out as Marlin's manager

He must've gotten too good for the Marlins to hold onto... seems to be the familiar story around Miami these days.

Loria is an idiot.

further proof that it appears the Marlins WANT to lose.

Dumb move IMO. I've always liked Girardi and thought he'd have a bright future as a Manager.

Now you guys know why Montreal doesn't have a ball club anymore.

Loria is scum.

That's what I was thinking.... I hope Giradi catches on somewhere soon and does well, preferbly the AL though.

Re: Joe Girardi out as Marlin's manager

I was listening to Salisbury and Rosenbloom this morning here in Chicago, and they said, that they heard that Girardi told Loria to "shut up" during their heated exchange. Loria supposedly took big time offense to that, with him being the owner and everything.

Sals and Rosey also heard that the way Girardi handled Josh Johnson by throwing him back out after a long rain delay, was the final straw.

So this is going to get interesting. Man I hope my Cubbies could land Joe. We could finally get respect back in the Clubhouse.

Re: Joe Girardi out as Marlin's manager

So he almost gets a team into the playoffs that collectively makes less than the Yankees' Towel Boy and he gets fired? I thought this level of stupidity was reserved for NBA owners.

Seattle is interested. Or, we better be.

Re: Joe Girardi out as Marlin's manager

Now the Cubs might actually have a chance of turning that franchise around . . . assuming they have the guts to dump Baker for Girardi.

And here I thought the O's front office was the worst in baseball...
