Another interim manager given a shot because of a dead cat bounce. You'd think after Boone, Miley and Narron we'd learn.

Miley never got a fair shake, he wasn't wanted by everyone in the front office.
I'm all for Mackanin getting a shot but like bfool said, 1 year deal only. |

I disagree on Miley but it really doesn't matter...you could have God manage, Christ as 1B coach, Buddah at 3B coach with Allah managing the bench...untill they magically impart some pitching ability on this sad sack franchise nothing will really change.

Hey, they spent $30 mill. on Arroyo! 
Only way they will ever have pitching is if they develop it in their Minor League system. What free agent pitcher will want to throw in that homer-friendly park? |
