You guys know how I feel about this. I can't imagine another manager would have made Soto thin, or make Soriano hit a curve, or get ARam unhurt, or make Bradley an average hitter, or make Fontenot any good, or made Theriot any good, or made Zambrano healthy, or made Dempster healthy, yada yada yada.
I have no problem with them letting Lou go, I just don't think he is remotely the problem. Getting Soriano healthy/good, getting Zambrano and Bradley's heads out of their asses, getting a double play combination that's above league average, and getting the bong out of Soto's hands will all matter much more than a new manager.
I also think there is justification for letting Hendry go, but starting a whole new regime can be pretty damaging to how a team works. I'd like to see how Wilken does with the minor league system.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
