Ed Wade is fired


One World championship in 120 years. 5 appearances in the World Series 1915, 1950, 1980, 1983 and 1993. And people obsess about the Cubs and Red sox futility.

Somebody had to take the fall and take responsibility. The team this year was exciting. They didn't fold down the stretch. I remember all the so called experts saying they would need 90 wins to make the playoffs. But they won 88 and missed the playoffs by a game. They were right.

He signed Jim Thome and Billy Wagner but locked up payroll on Lieberthall, Abreu and Bell.

We need a Billy Bean type guy. There a few experienced GMs out there, I hope the Phillies will grab one.

Nobody asked me, but don't Ed Wade and syndicated Columnist George Will look like they were seperated at birth?

It's not just one game. He has been GM for eight years with zero playoff appearances. The nail is they drew a half million less fans than last year. That equates into about $25 million. They should go get Gerry Hunsicker.

Cash MAN, who wants that bum. All that money to spend and they still come up short.
