From what I saw, Girardi wasn't a very good X's and O's manager.

Girardi still available?

Keep Buddy to ride out another horrible year until the prospects get here in 08.

I think he is.. Girardi has a bit of a black mark on him and looks like the Marlins front office did their best to air his dirty laundry b/c the guy seemed to do pretty well, coaching, at least.

Must be a Shanny-sized prick of a guy

I'd love to see it--now that Chicago, apparently, isn't interested....but knowing the Royals, there's no way.

I heard Washington is going after Girardi.

Well, with Bell's health in doubt we should maybe start being proactive... not to be a dick but really his health is 1st and work stress is not needed

I know that the players get along with Buddy Bell and Dayton Moore wants to maitain stability, but I wouldn't mind us moving in a different direction. Clearly, this team needs a new mentality, one that doesn't expect to lose every year, and sometimes, changing the manager is a good start to accomplishing that.

<---- going to drink the Dayton Moore kool-aid simply based on the progress of the team and his moves he made as the season went on.

As long as he keeps the philosophy that pitching wins, period. You can bank Detroit as winning it all b/c they groomed the arms and then went and got some offense... It amazes me how different playoff baseball is vs reg season... too bad they can't make it more like playoff baseball. And, while I'm wishing can I have Beltran back.... I have a man crush on his bionic ass... too bad we never could find out what a post season badass he was while he was w/ us!

I hear ya on Beltran. Royals need to get some pitching to become a team for the future.
