Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Wednesday, September 30, 2009Eric Wedge FiredI've been swamped with work (and about 80 comments I have yet to read for that Jeter thing), so it may just be some quicker hits today. Here's a quick one:The Indians are in the early stages of what general manager Mark Shapiro referred to as a "reloading" period, and the reload will extend to the managerial position and the coaching staff. Quick reactions: In any event, no matter how Shapiro characterizes it, he is now the next one on the chopping block. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 12:15pm Comments

Maybe Shapiro had to fire Wedge as the hatchet-man, so when the offseason begins you can kill the hatchet-man? That way no one who will be left in the organization will have the blood from the purge on their hands. Posted 09/30 at 12:44 PM

I think all of Cleveland is hoping that Wedge takes Eric Mangini with him. And that the basketball season starts very, very soon. Posted 09/30 at 01:01 PM

How is unemployment in Cleveland “news?” Posted 09/30 at 01:26 PM

Why would you even write about weather the Indians lied by saying they would keep Wedge? This statement represents all that is wrong with the media. Whatever journalism “school” gave you you’re degree should be ashamed of themselves. Only a White Sox fan who is envious of the CLASS that the Indians organization has shown over the years would write this cr*p. Get over yourself and find a real job! LOL. I can’t believe I wasted between 18 seconds and 6 hours reading this TRASH!!! Posted 09/30 at 01:36 PM

Remember when Shapiro was the toast of the baseball world and any forward-thinking team in need of a GM would have hired Chris Antonetti in a heart beat? I wonder how much Antonetti cost himself by sticking with the Indians rather than jumping to another team when he was a hot commodity. Could he replace Shapiro when Shapiro is axed? I still like how those two ran the organization (besides being a bit conservative in the draft) and it seems like bad luck was to blame for the Indians failure as much as anything else.

Craig likes the White Sox now? Posted 09/30 at 02:13 PM

How did I double-post? And even better, the first post is missing my final sentence. That’s fab. In other news, let’s discuss what any one of us would do in a lame-duck situation like Eric Wedge’s. Make the starters all pitch 9 innings/game no matter what? Re-order the lineup based upon OBP…in *ascending* order? Play with 4 outfielders and no shortstop? The possibilities are endless.

According to my RSS, Craig posted this at 1:02pm. The time stamp for our Cleveland rant is 1:36, so I’m guessing the answer is 34 minutes, which in Ohio, certainly *seems* like 6 hours. Posted 09/30 at 02:26 PM

That’s really too bad.I can’t see how it’s really his fault but I guess someone has to take the blame Posted 09/30 at 07:38 PM

In a lame duck situation like Eric Wedge’s, I might ask myself, before doing anything rash, whether I hoped to ever have another job in baseball. Posted 09/30 at 09:56 PM

matt g apparently migrated over here from Craig’s other gig. Who showed him the secret handshake? Posted 10/01 at 08:11 AM

On the other hand, if I didn’t hope to ever have another job in baseball, well, you know how in volleyball, every time you win back the serve, you rotate all your players? That would be a neat thing for Wedge to do! Each inning, move last inning’s pitcher to catcher, the catcher to 1st base, etc., with the right fielder coming in to pitch. By the end of the game, you’d be able to add 9 more guys to the list of people who have played all 9 positions in a single game. Posted 10/01 at 09:38 AM

This happened to Larry Bowa at the end of his tenure with the Phillies. Very rude.
