winninguglyin83 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Two interesting notes in the new USA Today Baseball Weekly. 1.) Bob Nightengale, whom I believe talks to KW frequently, sez Manuel is a goner if he doesn't get this team into the post-season. In fact, he sez he might be gone if the Sox don't reach at least the World Series. He sez Grady Little of Boston and Jim Tracy of LA are also gone if they don't make the post-season. 2.) Royals about to get a taste of the rotten scheduling the Sox got last week. BB Weekly sez the Royals have to play in Texas Sept. 3, fly home for a day to play Arizona in a makeup game and then leave after the game for Anaheim. Sounds good. Be better if Schilling or Webb or Unit pitches in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I have said all along that the Twins are the team to beat. They have an easy road the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 This will be Manuel's last year unless the Sox go deep into the playoffs...book it. And no, he won't get fired during the season. As far as the Royals go, I hope they lose, but more importantly I want the Sox winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 I can live with WIN OR ELSE for manuel. If he can't squeeze 88-plus wins outta this team, he doesn't deserve another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Jerry Manuel will be fired the day after the World Series ends, unless the Sox are holding the trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I can't believe he'll be around next year if the World Series doesn't open on the south side of Chicago this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I'd be for brining back JM if we atleast get to the lcs. If we got that far and say lost to the Yanks I don't think u can automatically say he's fired. Will see though. This is gonna be a grueling final 5 weeks of the season...
