What is that well known saying, “What have you done for us lately?”. To be blunt Cox should have been canned back in 1996 when he FAILED to repeat as World Series Champion. Winning divisional titles is NOT good enough. Unless a manager wins it all then he is a failure. And Cox has been nothing but a dumb doofus failure since 1996.

To anyone who badmouths Mark Bradley for reporting on this story, you’re wrong. Frank Wren has been, in many ways, a punk, and he needs people to call him to task on it.

Okay, Bradley didn’t do that completely, but he definitely exposed a few things that folks need to know.

It sounds like Wren wants to throw his weight around and pad his own ego, which, unfortunately, happens quite a bit, in all kinds of circles (like the time Lenny Wilkens, who’s even sorrier than Bobby Petrino, ran Dominique out of Atlanta and did so in classless fashion).

John Schuerholz isn’t without blame; he could’ve handled the David Justice and Tom Glavine situations much better, and he probably could’ve taken less credit for the 1991 team’s success because he received more than he deserved, but he typically has shown class and distinction. Wren, in his handling of the Smoltz situation and definitely in the Glavine situation, absolutely has not.

If anyone needs to go, it’s Wren. Team is strapped with two HORRIBLE contracts (Lowe and Kowakami). Lowe’s was at least understandable. The signing of K.K. was horendous, conidering no more pitching was needed.
Wren’s a deceitful moron who should be run out of Atlanta.

Trivia question?

Which airhead manager would play his worst 2B out of 4 possible choice when his team cant win more than 1-2 games the rest of the way???

Tim Hudsons face just said it all……….he just said………….KJ………….just suk………..and he did it without moving his lips…………just by staring at KJ.

Oh, well, there’s always the 2011 Season. Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. See: Atlanta Braves/Bobby Cox; B. Obama.

Well, the Braves just announced a one-year extension for Cox, with retirement at the end of 2010 of on-field management, but a 5-year consulting contract!

If Wren is so good how come he didn’t save Bobby from himself by trading or giving away Norton. Think what the season would have been like if Norton had been in Danville all year.

[...] Mark Bradley calls BS on it too: Reached by phone Tuesday night, Wren described the report as “inaccurate.” But it’s fair to [...]

I hope Bobby stays. Look at the history. He didn’t lose the games this year. The players did. No runs when needed,men left on,pitching off,etc.
