Wedge not returning to the Mariners next year

Story: http://www.king5.com/sports/mariners/Wedge-tells-Mariners-he-will-not-return-in-2014-225583712.html

Well Z is returning Wedge isn't next up based on history is a series of tread worn or new kids on the block and we go thru 4 or 5 years of falling further back of the pack, Z will be gone in two years due to bad performance and the cycle continues.

Now if they could find a hitting coach that could actually improve the teams hitting it would save a lot of Managerial turnover.

Until Lincoln and Armstrong are gone expect the same crap results. The GM and
Manager are non-factors with the two assclowns above those 2 positions.

I wish to Mariners wouldn't return to Seattle next year.

Maybe it was a huge coincidence, but the team played pretty darned well when Robbie Thompson was managing during the period Wedge was out for his heart issue.

Wouldn't mind if they gave him the keys next year to see what he can do.

Don Wakamatsu had a decent year with the Mariners in 2009, why not give him one more try?

Just saw that the GM said Wedge was fine until he opened his yap. Why is it that the GM that has hired back to back horrible managers is still employed?

The second manager to say No Mas. The problem is upper mgmt... I am unimpressed with the GM as well. A manager ? Robby Thompson. He was a hard nose ball player and seemed to do well. The less transition for the team the better.

Eric Wedge just fired the Mariners.

You can't let jack hire yet again another manager. Jack needs to go too.

I don't even care. With Howard Dinkon and Chuck Cuntstrong at the helm, nothing matters. This team should just die. I will pay no attention next year, I will buy no tickets. I really hope this team gets contracted. I'm over it.

I'm happy to see Wedge gone, but like others have said, it's not enough.

They need to hire someone who can develop young talent better.

What I don't get is how the Dodgers had ownership removed for the best interest of baseball. Yet, the Mariners and Marlins are able to run in total dysfuntion because they are in small markets.

Is it true that Wedge air'd out the clowns running that side show?

I don't believe Seattle is a small market team. It was not all that long ago we led the league in attendance. This is inconsistent with being a small-market team. We act like a small market team. Both Shannon Drayer and Stone for the Seattle Times have written pieces with quotes from Wedge.

My take on it was he disagreed with some of the decisions that were made. He was not happy with the future direction what that is I have no idea. This team in my opinion is in full meltdown mode. What it needs is a strong owner to step forward. Right now they don't have anyone and it is a rudderless ship

Sounds like Big Lou coming out against the upper Management before he went South.

Pretty much, in a round about way. The M's have had 3 managers quit on them in the past 10 years (Lou, Grover, and Wedge), all because of Lincoln/Armstrong. Hmmm.... wonder where the problem is? :sarcasm_off:

I wouldn't say we want the team gone, but I refuse to attend or watch a game as long as the current FO guys are still in a position of power.
