First of all, for everyone who said the Red Sox fired Grady Little because of one bad move, I hope you are enjoying that nice bowl of crow.The man's inability to manage a pennant contender has become so obvious that he has the Dodger fans fired up.
Think about that sentence... a fan base that shows up at the 3rd inning... a fan base where you see cars leaving the parking lot while Kirk Gibson hit his homer... is now passionate enough to hate Grady and have a petition to fire him!
Sports Illustrated's Jon Weisman does a great job breaking down his incompetency, but if you have a team loaded with solid veterans and exciting young hitters... if you have a Cy Young candidate in the rotation and in the bullpen... if you are playing in the wide open National League... and are irrelevant the last week of the season... then you HAVE to fire the manager.
Not in the off season. NOW!
Get someone on the coaching staff to fill out the line up card.
How could you do a worse job than Grady at that?
Maybe the team would be motivated?
How could they be less motivated than they are now?
But let everyone admit... the Red Sox were no dummies letting this dummy go!
