I have beaten this drum (or dead horse) since last year. While Molly was one of my favorite all time players, he's not been a good manager, in any sense, and most egregiously in his handling of the youngsters, which is what this woeful season should have been all about since that first early slide. The lineups pulled out of a hat, players making bone-headed decisions "on their own," playing guys in crucial positions or batting order based on reputation rather than performance, it's just been a nightmare of a season, but the same signs and behaviors were there last year as well. Hm. The one Twinks game I actually watched recently included Dougie M in the dugout as a "September call-up." Hm, again. As others have posted, I hate seeing someone lose their job, but at least in this case, it's kind of cushioned by having made millions as a player, and a comfy retirement ahead.
