I just don't know why general manager Ruben Amaro thought the best time to fire Manuel was when you were just about to honor the guy who brought your franchise its first championship in almost 30 years. Did Manuel not earn the right to coach out the season? Do you expect Ryne Sandberg to show you anything with this team in the 40 or so games remaining? Did your veteran players (who are all coming back next year) not deserve a say?
