The team
is playing like this so Wash is fired.
The Texas Rangers rounded the bases at a dizzying pace

As bad as we are
We’re not going to be bad enough to get the no.1 pick.

yeh maybe the sister can get it done since the brother didn’t!
It could be worse, we could still have Whiffy in the lineup:

Is it seriously a possibility
for Wash to get canned?
[same question, new thread]

this game notwithstanding
yeah, Ron could be done by June unless this team really makes some improvement
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

I'm as down on Wash as the next guy
but you can’t put this game on him. This is a win if your closer can get 4 outs instead of imploding.

It is Wash's fault
He never should have sent Millwood back out for the 7th with over 100 pitches through 6. It is not like he was going to finish the game, he was basically done. If Millwood is out the whole tenor of the inning might have been different.

Agreed
this last inning is not on Wash (players did not make plays) but overall i think Wash is not putting players in the best position to succeed and there is some lack of direction going on.
Again, you can’t fire 25 guys

whew, glad the new thread was up
I couldn’t post in the other one it had gotten so slow.

Hey Rangers...
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.
by SarasotaRanger on Apr 20, 2008 3:10 PM CDT 0 recs
Get him out of here
It’s how this team is mentally prepared and how they feel about each other when the game is on the line.
Some managers have it, some don’t.
Ron Washington doesn’t have it.

Better pray that Blalock/Cat/Murphy do something
Because Laird and Broussard have a big bag of nothing right now.

The only thing
they really could have done differently, would have been to pull CJ for Wright and go after Youkilis. But that probably isn’t much better than CJ going after Drew

Well...
You could have walked Ortiz and left Littleton in to pitch to Pedroia.

Would Pedroia have come in
Thurston was hitting from the left side, so they could have left him in against Littleton.

But you gotta bring in your best guy at that point. CJ was supposed to be that, and he FAILED.

all it took was someone to stop throwing pitches like Ricky Vaughn at the start of Major League.

I can live with that
But losing games when you are up 5-0 and constantly getting great production from your starting rotation. Thats just bull shit plain and simple and is painful to watch.

care if Avery is fired.. He deserves it…
But Wash shouldn’t be blamed for this loss, its on the players only.

Steve Howe back from the grave
He probably could do just as good.

this hurt worse than the first game of the series
I am as deflated as I can get right now. I may not even watch tomorrow…
oh, who am I kidding. I’ll watch every game because that’s what a fan does.

This team needs a management change as soon as we leave Fenway
If for no other reason than to get someone who can fire the troops up in the dugout.

dumb
offense scores 5 runs, starting pitching allows one run. one guy, ONE GUY, messes the game up and it’s suddenly on the manager?
If Washington gets fired over this game, CJ should feel pretty guilty

It's not just this game
It’s the way the season has gone. The team is in a rut, and Washington cannot lead them out of it. He needs to go, for the sake of the bigger picture.

the blind love for CJ is a little ridiculous
he totally effed up the game. Him and him alone. everything else is excusable. he sucked. Either you give credit to the Red Sox hitters or you blame CJ. anything else is just retarded and not defendable
