    Leyland set to retire ... announcement at 11:30

    According to local sports talk radio top 2 candidates to replace Leyland are Tony Larussa and Kirk Gibson (Gibby), gibby intrigues me ... how nice would it be for him to manage them to WS title next year 30 years after their last title in which he was part of.


    Shit - 30 years! I am old! I was at Game 4 of the 1984 world series! :D Can't believe it has been 30 years...

    Kinda glad my head was exploding at Brooklyn night 2 instead of in front of a tv... :?
    Very disappointed with the final outcome of the season but will remain hopeful for next year.
    I personally loved Leyland as a manager. It's hard to second guess game to game decisions
    when he only had one season under .500 and got us two pennants. I blame the players for not
    showing up in 2006 and 2012. That said, I'd love it if Gibby came back. ;) Looking forward to
    seeing how all this plays out.

    From what I've read gibby will not be leaving AZ ... I guess I was just hoping ... Personally I'm glad he's gone, he coached a team in one of the weakest division with one of the highest payrolls in the league ... So better results should have been achieved. I expected a WS title after getting hunter and Martinez and with that tremendous starting rotation more should have been achieved. This team underachieved ... IMO ...

    I'd like to see Manny Acta hired. He did we'll with what he had to work with in Cleveland.

    He's younger and can relate to the Latin players

    Wouldn't surprise me that the manager is somebody we never thought of. I would like to somebody younger. I also would like to see a trade(s) to bring more bullpen depth and a everyday left fielder with speed. I do not feel this current team can win a WS. We need more speed, our lack of speed really showed in the Boston series.

    Peralta, Fielder and Martinez need to be replaced. The lineup I'd like to see next year is ...

    1. New lead off hitter who strikes out less

    2. Infante (if resigned)

    3. New left Fielder with power

    4. Cabrera

    5. Hunter

    6. Fielder ( because he is untradeable)

    7. Jackson

    8. Avilia

    9. Iglesias
