[bravest]

Phillies Fire Bowa (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylc=X3oDMTBpNWZic251BF9TAzI1NjY0ODI1BHNlYwN0 aA--?slug=ap-phillies-bowafired&prov=ap&type=lgns)

Their record was 85-75 this year, but apparantly that's not good enough to get passed the Braves. :P

How would anyone like to be interim manager for the last game of the season? :P

[twins15]

bout time.

[Penning10]

Hasn't Peter Gammons been reporting this for years now?

[Shadow29]

I may be one, but I think he shouldn't have been fired at all. He was good, the players were the ones under-achieving

[Penning10]

the players were the ones under-achieving
Managers are supposed to be blamed for situations like this for failing to motivate their players.

[X-Factor]

finally, been waiting for them to fire him

Motivate? They were losin guys to injuries, many were doin bad, and you expect the manager to do everything?

I would at the very least expect him not to drive Scott Rolen out of town, and have all the players hate him.

[Shadow29]

I odnt really wanna argue bout this much. Alot of players liked him, escpecually Rollins. Everyone doesnt get the full story if you live far from Philly. He was a good manager, I hope we can get one just as good, if not better.

[Chris C2]

I honestly wouldn't mind having him as manager for the Mets next year if we can't get Valentine back.

Bowa sucks, and should have been fired months ago.

[Sam-ES]

The only way he ever motivated his players was when he got ejected. *nod*
