Re: MM FIRED AT LAST!!
This magnificent specimen is on clearance at the MLB gift shop. A cash infusion in badly needed, I'd venture to guess.
[By the way, I agree that the team is probably seeing some effect on recent sales at the ballpark.]

Free at last, free at last.
Mike, you were one of my favorite players, but have been well below average as a manager. God speed.

Good, SJ, how about you. I'm more of a lurker these days (two young kids now) but this is still the top destination for good Cards talk.Spider John wrote:How ya doing Faceman?
Felt compelled to open the laptop tonight for this momentous occasion.

This morning I was thinking about that time Wacha was on our postseason roster but hadn't pitched in a month because he was clearly still hurt, then Matheny put him into the 9th of the NLCS elimination game.
That was 2014. It's astounding this took this long.

Re: MM FIRED AT LAST!!
That MM was the first manager in a decade to be fired mid-season while his team had a winning record is pretty telling, IMO, to just how bad the Fowler and Norris stuff is. Mo might give lip service to wins, but it's just not a move that's generally made when you're over .500 and 4 games out of the wild card at the break.
I think it's a nice indication that the org wants to move beyond an old-school locker room of rookie hazing and stupid hierarchy stuff.

Mike Matheny is a dogsh*t person that no one should feel sorry for

Re: MM FIRED AT LAST!!
The biggest shock for me was that they did it Saturday night instead of Sunday. It was time.
I can also say that the team has gotten a lot less of my money this year (haven't been to a game since May 5) but that actually has nothing to do with their performance and everything to do with a combination of being busy and the weather being so flipping hot. I just don't have the desire to go and sweat my balls off in mid-90s heat. If friends were going then I would go if I could but I cut off the Ballpark Pass until September because of the weather mostly.

Re: MM FIRED AT LAST!!
We talk about MM bullpen management, but what ever happened to Mike Maddux taking those decisions over ?
