[QUOTE="Nuke Dukem, post: 2084232, member: 748249"] For a years I thought Mo was ahead of the curve. Clearly that is no longer the case. Why fire Shildt after three consecutive post season appearances? “Philosophical differences?” Give me a break! Well Mo, your philosophy ain’t looking too good right now! And why would he extend Marmol’s contract for two years after taking them to their worst finish in the standings in over 30 years? Was he afraid someone was gonna swoop in and take him away? These decisions clearly were not based on job performance. This is a team that could afford to hire an established veteran manager with a history of winning. Why don’t they? I think Mo’s ego had clouded his vision ala Jerry Jones. He wants the credit. After LaRussa retired, he wanted a manager he could control. A yes man. Matheny was a yes man. Marmol is a yes man and Shildt was his own man. Mo wants everyone to know that he is THE man. I don’t blame Marmol for this debacle. He is doing exactly what Mo wants. It’s on Mo. Now that Mo has established beyond all doubt that he is THE man he need to own it. It’s time. Fall on your sword Mo! [/QUOTE]
