July 17, 200521 yr I love Jack, but I think it's necessary. I'd like to see Jim Leyland, Tony Pena or Carlos Tosca.
July 17, 200521 yr I don't see where McKeon has done anything questionable since the ASB. But I still would like to see Robinson replaced.
July 17, 200521 yr I think the Marls need a new manager, but I don't believe they'll get rid of him during the season.
July 17, 200521 yr If this season is lost, then expect a new manager this year. I also doubt McKeon will be replaced during this season.
July 17, 200521 yr can we trade AJ to get Guillen back from the White sox? He should of been our manager
July 17, 200521 yr I don't see where McKeon has done anything questionable since the ASB. But I still would like to see Robinson replaced. 860094[/snapback] As long as this team is leading the league in batting average and other offensive stats, I doubt Robinson will be going anywhere. Personally, I think McKeon has to go. This team has been greatly underachieving and is slowly digging its own grave. Our pitching has been awesome, and our hitting has been decent, so the reasons why this team is faltering go deeper than that. It is time for change, and the manager is the first place to start in. I like Jack McKeon's ways, but it is the players that make the team. If they want change, then they should get it.
July 17, 200521 yr McKeon has done nothing wrong to get fired. It is not his fault for Mike Lowell, or Beckett, or Pierre. I think the one that needs to go is Bill Robinson(and that is pushing it, b/c other players are having decent years). IF we fire McKeon, who do you want to get? Admin Bowa? Bobby Valentine? Lou Pinella? Art Howe? Don Zimmer?
July 17, 200521 yr When this team goes down three runs, they seemingly gives up collectively. They don't think they can come back. They don't believe in themselves. How many come from behind wins do we have this year? Not many. The team needs a manager that can reinvigorate them, spark them, rejuvenate them, and get them believing in the talent that they do possess. This is what Jack did in 2003 when he got here. It's what Guillen did in Chicago and what Robinson did in DC. They're missing the resiliency, the attitude, the swagger that champions possess.

They came back quite a bit the past two days...won one and lost one. Our starting pitching is letting us down, our bullpen is letting us down. Our offense is inconsistent.

Lou Pinella? Art Howe? Don Zimmer? 860145[/snapback] Jim Leyland....firing a hitting coach is nothing. People put hitting on Robinson's shoulders- sure he isn't good but firing a hitting coach will NOT win us games. Big trades and getting a NEW manager will get us W's! I loved Jack for a few years but his time is up!
July 17, 200521 yr Everything is just falling apart...If they are going to let Jack go this year...they will do it today. I don't think can get much lower than this and still expect to come back from it. I don't know. Just so damn frustrating to see them play like this.

I love Jack, but this team is a disaster. It's just "time".
July 17, 200521 yr I too love Jack but it's time for change....This is just out of hand. The Astros went through the same thing last year until they shook things up with a new manager. Bring me a proven winner. BRING ME JIM LEYLAND!!!!!
July 17, 200521 yr Author Leyland shouldn't show his face anywhere near the Marlins Clubhouse. 860371[/snapback] Oh yeah? Why's that? He was a great manager.
July 17, 200521 yr I know he didnt do well in Philly, but I'd like to give LArry Bowa a shot if McKeon is fired
July 17, 200521 yr What's your source? Is this your opinion? You should state as such. Jack is deserving of finishing out the rest of the year, but that doesn't mean we might not improve the club by his (and some of his assistants') dismissal right now.
July 17, 200521 yr you are the most negitive poster on here.. its horrible.. there is no way your a marlins fan..
July 17, 200521 yr Author you are the most negitive poster on here.. its horrible.. there is no way your a marlins fan.. 860766[/snapback] You spelled negative and you're wrong. I've been a fan since they played in Cocoa- spring training 1993. McKeon is not winning with an 80 million dollar payroll. We are .500 and that is sad. Most people who ARE Marlin fans can see that. Of course, some people like yourself is in love with him and players (Lowell) who aren't carrying their weight. Our goal is to IMPROVE. Getting a new manager will help us.
July 17, 200521 yr I know he didnt do well in Philly, but I'd like to give LArry Bowa a shot if McKeon is fired 860712[/snapback] OMG...Anybody but Admin Bowa!!!!!!!!
July 17, 200521 yr you are the most negitive poster on here.. its horrible.. there is no way your a marlins fan.. 860766[/snapback] McKeon is not winning with an 80 million dollar payroll. 860817[/snapback] The payroll is closer to 65 million, actually.
