I have only one good reason,He took J. Jurrjen’s out with a 5 run lead 6th inning and shotty bullpen releif from that buck toothed Koala bear from down Unda! and Farnsworth does it again and again,like in the championship series against the Astro’s,he wears galsses,lets get some young guns,Bobby Cox,exit,good ridence….

In all fairness to Bobby Cox,you must place blame on the Staff Management Office for keeping him on after the Otis Nixon bunt in the 1992 World Series Game with 2 out’s in the 9th inning. Hence years of titles won and fallen short.

Bobby Cox is no more than a players coach,of course they love his style,more play and less rest,but in crucial spots of the game,He lacks the knowledge and memory factor,which is to repeat with the same lousy arm less dependable,than another,his timing is suspect of a coach in panic mode,it’s like “The Quicksand Theory”,No matter who he goes to,he doesn’t let the next guy settle in as he will pull him after an out,simply put,He is a bad bullpen decision maker,and you ass-kissers who don’t understand strategy and pitcher stat memory,should not kiss his so much,He has only one World Series win with the Braves,thanks to Tom Glavine and David Justice and those players behind him in 1995,his coaching is somewhat over rated,good arguer,takes up for his slacking hitters. 2 good qualities doesn’t make Bobby a good Coach,just a class act person.

As the Braves limp, sputter and cough to 86-76 and 3rd place again. ”
When you see some people work you wonder what they’ll do in retirement.

Hope Coxie will make it one more for 25 yrs, see Heyward, Hanson, Huddie, Chip, and hopefully Vazquez “FRANK” Wren, and the rest of our current crew, plus one more BIG STICK to make a Big run next yr. On a list of replacements, Freddie Gonzalez(Marlins) when available(buy him out, whatever), would be a Good One, Pendleton maybe, Snitker in time, Joe Torre again possibly. Torre and Cox have both put up strong numbers under their watch while in Atlanta. Hang in there Bobby!!

Bobby shouldn’t retire yet. I believe he has two good years left in the tank. Yes he should go out and enjoy the time he has between March and October, but if he still enjoys coming to the ball park and making out the lineup card…he should be afforded that right. Yes, we’re going to question his decisions to bat people where they are, but that’s our right to do that. The final decision is his. As it should be.

Let Bobby go when he is ready. I’m a big braves and Tarheels fan.The rap on coach Smith was the same as coach Cox. There is some truth in both, but also players deserve credit and blame (lonnie smith anyone). They both did their respective careers the correct way. Allow BC to leave when he is ready.

You can tell that the “teaser” for this column was written by someone from the football-crazy South, where baseball is treated like a foreign, unknown sport. She (and I am SURE it is a “she”) referred to Mr. Cox as a “famed COACH” [emphasis added]. Only high schools, colleges, and American Legion baseball teams are led by a COACH. Professional teams, minor and major league, are piloted by a MANAGER.
