Buck Showalter Fired!

This is from Baseball Musings and it surprised me in the fact that it hand't been talked about in most sports circles. Sure, I called for Showalter to be canned months ago but I never thought it would actually happen so soon.

As the BM Blog points out, perhaps they'll win the World Series in 2007. As the Yankees and Diamondbacks won it a year after Showalter left as manager.

I doubt someone else will hire Showalter. He's too controlling for today's player.

He'll get another job but I will guess it will be a case of whether or not he'll want to become a bench coach or something of that ilk.

He can be the head-coach of the Cubs!

They can use anything right about now since they don't have a manager.

Who would you choose, Giradi or Showalter?

Keep the show rolling!

How about Dusty Baker for the Cubs?

Dusty Baker is out.

That guy couldn't make any magic happen without the equipment.
