Its Been a Tough Decade

On Monday the Orioles fired manager Sam Perlozzo who saw the team to a dismal 122-164 under his watch. This will do absolutely nothing positive for the Orioles in the present or future. The organization is in complete and utter disarray these days from top to bottom. The O's have gone from a team in the 60's and 70's that clubs modeled their teams after to a laughing stock that is hard pressed to get fans to beautiful Camden Yards these days. The minor league system is in shambles, the Nationals just moved into D.C. what could be next?

Well owner Peter Angelos could make things worse by going out and signing a former Cubs General Manager, that would be horrible. Wait what did he do? He goes out and hires Andy McPhail that built the forgettable teams of the late 1990's for the Southsiders. If you think things can't get worse in Charm City, wait until a man that ran the Cubs now runs your team.

Joe Girardi interviewed for the job this morning and with all due respect, he is crazy for even considering this position right now. Girardi is an up and coming manager and the last thing he needs to do is throw himself in the middle of the dead end job that is the Orioles managerial position right now.
