Allow me to get you up to speeed. Perlozzo's out. And it's all his fault the team was horse poo.




"We felt Sam was prepared, we felt the club was prepared to do battle every night," executive vice president Mike Flanagan said in a news conference. "For [whatever reason], it just wasn't working."

Mike Flanagan. Mikey Mike Flannyganny. Flanagananaman. Did you really think this through? I mean, really... did you dig deep and think this was the best possible statement you could make after firing your manager?

When you bring in middle tier FA's in the last couple offseasons, (Aubrey Huff, Steve Trachsel, Jay Payton, Corey Patterson) is it really Perlozzo's fault you can't win? You're playing in a division the New York Freaking Yankees and the Boston Beat Down Red Sox. You have NO FREAKING CHANCE! Not to mention, Toronto has plenty of money to throw around, and they did. Let's not shoot the messenger here, Flanster. Your teams sucks monkey butt because you don't have enough money to afford big name FA's to compete with the two biggest financial powerhouses in sports.

Anyone who is stupid enough to take this job better just plan on renting a house in Baltimore, because they won't be staying long, especially if you keep blaming the skipper like you just did. I mean come on, how mad can you be? If he's making bad managerial decisions, what's an example? Gee, we're down by 8 runs again, should I pinch hit for Paul Bako with Chris Gomez or Alberto Castillo? I mean come on dude, there's no golden choice here.

Give Perlozzo some talent and maybe he might win a few games. He may not win em all, but don't say he was prefreakingpared for this mess. That's like saying the Cav's were prepared for the Spurs. Sure, they suited up a full roster and ran 'em out there, but they had no chance. If prepared means you have 25 guys on the roster, and they all can manage to find their way to their positions, sure... it's Perlozzo's fault.
