At least one MLB manager who got fired wasn't humiliated in the middle of the night


The Seattle Mariners fired John McLaren today and it wasn't done at three in the morning. Instead they were respectful enough to fire him before the team left on its road trip and three days after general manager Bill Bavasi was fired. Perhaps the New York Mets could learn a lesson or two on how to do things right and then you wouldn't be still having to defend yourself days after making such a disgusting decison. Like Willie Randolph before him, John McLaren had a great team contending who went on a losing implosion as the Mets did at the end of last season. Managers can be blamed to a point but players who never get fired and keep increasing their paychecks need to be held accountable as well, I wish John McLaren the best.
