Axed

Three managers and a general manager were axed yesterday. They were axed not to come back.
Ken Macha of the Brewers was let go, John Russell of the Pirates was sent packing and the Mets rid themselves of the clown show known as Jerry Manuel (mismanager) and Omar Minaya (General Mismanager).
The only one I have a problem with is Russell. The Pirates front office doesn't want to win, they don't give a manager the ammunition to win and yet they make the manager the scapegoat. I want to know why the General Manager, Neal Huntington doesn't get whacked? He's the one who gets the players for the manager, right? But he's bulletproof yet Russell gets cut loose.
Actually, I'm glad Russell was let go. It was inhumane to let him continue to manage that crap show. He had no chance. I consider what the Pirates did to be a mercy firing.
Until ownership changes and Bob Nuttig sells the team, the Pirates losing ways will continue. This season's 105-loss disaster was their 18th consecutive losing season. That streak will go on for the foreseeable future. Sad.
As for Macha, Manuel and Minaya, they all deserved to go.
If the Brewers were smart, they would hire Willie Randolph as their new manager. Randolph has been the bench coach in Milwaukee. He coaches benches. "Stay strong, don't break, be careful when Prince Fielder sits on you..."
