If Narron does anything short of the playoffs and is given this job permanently I'll be highly upset.

oregonred · 06-21-2005, 12:56 PM

Miley no surprise, Gullett a bit of a surprise mid-season...

O'Brien's gone end of year unless the ship gets turned around.

don't think that either will happen. the Reds will continue to lose until they get some pitching.

I can't wait to hear the players on this.

flyer85 · 06-21-2005, 12:58 PM

Will the lineup change or the rotation change?

I can't be happy, I am having a bad day. I am a Flyer fan and found out one of our guards is bolting for Illinois and leaves the team short in the backcourt.

I don't care that they fired Miley, I want to know if something might actually change.

I like to see if Ruhle can straighten a few of these pitchers out.

DanO gets more blame than Miley from me. I don't know why, but I am a little shocked by the timing of the move.

I hope this straightens the pitchers out. I wonder if narron will want Kearns called up.

BRM · 06-21-2005, 01:04 PM

I'll be interested in seeing Narron's lineup cards. I also want to see if he has the nerve to remove Milton and/or Ortiz from the rotation.
