Price, Jenkins out: Riggleman interim mgr, Darwin interim PC, Kelly interim BC

I'm still gonna have to go with the whole "It's ridiculously easy to be a great fan base when you have 28 World Series Championships and your team has unlimited dollars to assemble All-Star rosters" meme.

Make Yankee fans watch 2001-2009 and then 2014-present and let's see how truly awesome they are.

They would all be lifelong Red Sox fans.

Actually, I was being facetious, and I thought my link indicated that. If you looks the east coast fans, most of them are JO's anyway, from Boston to Philly. The Midwest fans are polite and laid back. The west coast fans are stoners.

That's what I get for not reading your link

Other than a semi-humorous last name, what is Quackenbush's reason for existing?

Well about 30 years ago his mother and father met, and they were quite fond of each other. At that point -

Kind of an out of left field suggestion for permanent manager by a Fangraphs writer:

The Cincinnati Reds appointed Jim Riggleman interim manager when they fired Bryan Price earlier this week. Numerous names are being bandied about as the long-term replacement, with Barry Larkin — currently a special assistant to general manager Dick Williams — a popular choice among the fanbase. The 53-year-old Larkin, who has never managed professionally, has reportedly lobbied for the job in the past, which added a potentially deleterious element to his candidacy.

John Farrell, who joined the Reds in an advisory capacity last month, is also being touted as a strong candidate. The erstwhile Red Sox skipper does have managerial experience, but just like Price he’s a 55-year-old former pitching coach. In some respects, bringing him on board would be a continuation of the same.

Would the historically-conservative Reds be willing to go outside the organization and hire 40-year-old Carlos Beltran? The recently-retired native of Puerto Rico is viewed by many as a future manager and he’d bring a fresh perspective to a team that badly needs one. Staying a predictable course probably isn’t what the Reds need right now.

Speaking of Barnhart- Is Ryan Hannigan still w/o a job? Back in the day everyone said he would become a good manager. So lets offer him a position somewhere in the organization.

Anthony Castrovince and Richard Justice were talking up Beltran for the Reds position on their podcast last week. I would love for them to give him a hard look.

Ryan Hanigan Manager, Corky as Bench Coach, Keep ol' Danny Darwin as Pitching Coach (don't want any age discrimination going on here), Bronson Arroyo as assistant pitching coach, and don't even hire a batting coach just make all the players watch tape of Votto.

Party likes its 2012 baby.

I hope Jim Riggleman isn't following this thread (or forum)! He's getting a helluva vote of confidence (LOL)

I like catchers as managers. They have the best perspective of the game.

Of course he is. They never sleep there and there are no real responsibilities or consequences to be had.

This really wasn’t Price’s fault. Injuries hurt. Price managed 666 games, and he only had the projected starting lineup at his disposal 34 times.
