witesoxfan Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Who the hell knows. With our management....they could give him a vote of confidence after an 0-10 start, and then if we came back and were 50-40 by the All-Star break, we'd probably fire him.

bjmarte Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hard to say. I'd say if we are out of the race a lot sooner than we should be then he will get the can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox247 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 JM has made some bad decisions, but no one deserves the boot after losing just 2 games. If we go 5-20, then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 wally backman , nick leyva...come on down...after what he did today , if KW fired him and brought up either of those guys id officially join the KW fan club!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 JM has made some bad decisions, but no one deserves the boot after losing just 2 games. It's not just today. JM has been f***ing up since the second-half of 2000. We've seen what happened today for the last 2+ seasons. If it happens in the second game of '03, why would you think the tides would change suddenly with JM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Way to early to tell. He'll get till late May, early June. The Sox can't wait that long. They will have to fire him early if things to turn around. Not jumping off or anything. I know the talent is there and this team will win. I also think if they start 3-10 we can easily come back, but more importantly he would get fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I think JM is getting a little too much heat for this, but I also believe the Sox aren't going to cut him any slack. He's gonna be on a short leash. I'm not worried though. Manuel will likely be here and the Sox will be fine. We have a great team, a good pen, and big time run producers. Two games is nothing to panick on, it doesn't indicate any sort of trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 If it was my choice, i'd wake him up from his kc hotel room right now and toss him out onto the street where he can come coach my former high school team (maybe) Every time he makes a mistake i just think back to last year's game where he brought in foulke for the famous 2 inning save that turned into a catastrophe and in my opinion, ruined the season. I was beyond mad at that game, esp with all the goddamn yanks fans around. You would have thought Maggs just hit a grand slam with the noise level. It was ridiculous. I really hate jerry manuel, it's pretty simple. Let alone losing games for us...i think good managers can actually steal you some games. Has he EVER done that? Just makes you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I've heard the name Bobby Valentine mentioned. Anyone think he would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Terrible idea. Horrible idea. JR would never pay his price, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
