Who will be the first manager fired in 2008?

[Zagi-CRO]

After 7 weeks I was thinking about managers who didn't filling out the duties.
A look at the possible candidates /my list/:

1. Jim Leyland, Tigers
After being predicted to win the WS, the Tigers have the worst record in the AL!?
2. Ned Yost, Brewers
The Brewers have lost 5 in row, 12 of 17. The record 20-24 isn't success.
3. John McLaren, Mariners
After Bedard's arrival, the Mariners have only one win more then the Tigers.

What do you think who will be the first manager fired in this season?

Have two managers from the same city ever been fired on the same day? If not, then history awaits. However, I don't dare say which city, but please take a nice guess.

Impatient owner on the navy and silky white side, and impatient fans on the royal blue and deep orange side of things.

You can take Hurdle off of that list. Go's to the same church as the Monforts.

Last year was suppose to be the bubble year for Hurdle/GM O'Dowd and they was both signed to 3 year extensions 1 or 2 games into the 2007 season. It was the 2nd time this has happened. IMO>>>>>> As long as the Monforts own the Rockies, Hurdle and O'Dowd will have a job no matter how the Rockies do.

Do you honestly think Girardi is on thin ice ? I can't see that, really, no way.
I have tremendous respect for Cashman sticking to his blue print of building from within and I feel Girardi is the corner stone of that plan.
This is a transitional year, and next season will be a growing year. Hank's funny and quotable and all, but I don't think he'll become the monsterous beast his father was for another 2 years or so.

And the winner is ... oooops .... city is...? NY?

I don't know who will be the first to be fired, but I wouldn't be shocked if Leyland quit.

LOL. I see I'm not the only one who has no respect for this quitter.
When the going gets tough ... Leyland gets going.

[Erik Bedard]

McLaren. Though if I had my choice, I'd say Dusty Baker.

Probably has a new batch of grandkids he wants to spend time with since he up and quit the Rockies when the going got tougher then he could handle.

I've also noticed that a few of the Tiger posters have quit on the baseball boards I go to. Probably be back if the Tigers get hot.

[YankeeFanUK]

i would say either Yost or Bud Black ( fathers are a huge dissapointment so far as are the Crew )

I'm going with Ron Washington. He's been on the hot seat all year and looks like he's only a meltdown away from being out of the job.

I think Ned Yost will finish out the year. He made mistakes this year but he brought the Brewers their first winning record in 16 years and is not responsible for the Brewers picking up a has-been reliever who blew five games for them.

If they go more than a few games below .500 I think Ozzie Guillen will be given the boot, he can only get on everyone's nerves for so long and the negative publicity will be too much...

[Jermz]

Please dump Bochy! I wished we had gotten Bud Black before 2007 started, but we got stuck with Mr. Padre and he brought all his Padre friends with him. Even the hated Orel Hershiser would've been better than Bochy. The only thing that would have been WORSE than him, is if we STILL had Felipe Alou.

Willie Randolph. The Mets are accessing the situation in June (11 days from now). On top of the Mets' mediocre, up-and-down playing he's playing the race card, bashing the fans, and bashing SNY (which is owned by the Mets) and other media. Oh yeah, and there was that thing last year...

[MadHatter]

I'm going with Ron Washington.
