Gibbons, Schilling Recieve Bad News

John Gibbons and Curt Schilling are both not having the best days of their lives.

Gibbons was fired as Blue Jays manager today after an awful start to the season. Cito Gaston will take over the job.

Curt Schilling announced that he needs surgery and will be out for the season and POSSIBLY his career will end.

John McClaren Fired

Today John McClaren was fired after less then a year as the Mariners manager. The Mariners are 25-47 this season and they also recently fired General Manager Bill Bavasi

Yankees On A Roll

The New York Yankees are now on a 5 Game Winning Streak. They are currently 6 games behind the RedSox for first in the AL East. In the wild card race they are 3.5 Games behind the Rays.

So how did they get to this point? Joe Girardi said going into the interleague stretch that he wanted this to be their breakout time. Well, I guess the team answered his call as they have been playing their best baseball all year! They have won their last two games a combined 21-0 and dont seem like they are about to stop!

Every year it seems they get off to a terrible start, everyone doubts them, and then they finish by making the playoffs.

I predict that will happen again.

Mets make flurry of firings

In a much neccessary move the Mets FINALLY fired Willie Randolph. They also axed Pitching Coach Rick Peterson and 1b coach Tom Nieto.

Taking over Manager will be bench coach Jerry Manuel. AAA pitching coach will take over the same job.

The one problem with these moves was the timing. 3:00 Eastern time AM they fired Randolph. This is just a few hours after an impressive win. Also, they made Willie Randolph go on the west coast trip with the team.

Chien Ming Wang Injury Update

Chien Ming Wang will be out for 6 weeks. Or so we think. Buster Olney reports that the yankees would be HAPPY to see Wang on the mound by September 1st. Any earlier would even surprise them!

With this injury the yankees will for now probably look to the minors but in the future they will probably go to trading/free agency.

Happy Fathers Day!!!

I would like to start off this post by wishing everyone a happy fathers day!

Next of all, reports have said that Ken Griffey Jr. WOULD waive his no-trade clause if he was to be traded to the Rays. Last year he was reported to possibly be going to the Cubs.
