Look I have not been a huge fan of Jack this season but lets not be blind. During the losing streak AGone has been out, Loduca has been hobbled and when you add that to Lowell and pierre's sub-par season as well as our sucky bullpen can we be surprised that this team fell apart?

 

When you are losing there is always negativity and discontent - hence the saying "winning cures everything"

 

Jack had this team 1.5 games up in the wild card race on 9/14 and then the injuries and sub-par performers caught up to them. AJ was one of those sub-par performers.

i wouldnt say everyone agree's

 

Infielder Lenny Harris didn't seem shocked by the move.

 

"You just don't burn down the ship like that," Harris said. "I guess it was best for the organization. He buried everybody. As a person we just had to go to him and say good luck. ... I just told him good luck and hopefully things work out well for him and his family."

 

Lenny was also quoted as saying that a few guys wanted AJ to apologize to the team for his comments. Apparently, a few of his teammates were hurt or became angered by his comments.

 

Cabs?

 

I can just see Cabs cursing Burnett out in broken english (with some spanish words thrown is aswell).

You can? Why? Anyway, I guess that makes sense. I remember that Miggy was really upset with Pudge when he left.

He probably gave AJ the Stare ( :stare ) he gives to pitchers when a pitch is up and in. Then proceeded to chew him out.

He was going to, but he was running late.

Clubhouse? I'll bet McKeon never even talked to the players in the clubhouse. That would be beneath him. They would have to come to him BUT only if invited. Get it?? Jack was and is completely out of touch with his payers....period! McKeon is NOT a mentor! He is all for himself!

 

 

Didn't Al Leiter complain about that when he left the team? :mischief2

Yeah, he did, but when it comes to the opinions and thoughts of ballplayers you're only as good as your batting average or earned run average.

That would be the most fire this team has shown in months

I'm glad he said what he said. Hopefully it'll get some wheels turning in the front office and some changes can be made to bring new life into this team for next season.
