I guess the Bosox weren't about to leave him in too long. LOL

He should have pulled Pedro at the end of the seventh inning.


Grady Little, meet Gene Mauch!

That's an organization that knows how to lose. This guy won 93-95 games for them each year, and took them to the ALCs this year. I am sorry for Boston fans that the owners are this rash. I can almost guarantee that they will be out of it by Sept 1 next year.

They're firing him because he stuck with the game's best pitcher (Pedro Martinez) in a critical ballgame, rather than go to a shaky bullpen. And if he'd pulled Martinez and his replacement had given up a home run, they'd have fired him for that, too.

It was Little that cost them the series! Now that he is gone, I am sure that will fix the problem.

I know as an Indians fan that getting rid of Hargrove sure fixed the Tribe. After all he cost them the World Series in '95 & '97.

Look how many the Tribe has won since the tossed him.

I would hate to think that it had anything to do with talent (tongue firmly implanted in cheek).

Firing Grady Little will not bring back Babe Ruth from the dead.

Pretty harsh for one bad decision.

Unbelievable. As the old question goes: "What have you done for me lately?"

Here's an idea. Since Charlotte-based Bank of America just bought FleetBoston for $47 billion, maybe they could toss in an extra billion and move the Red Sox here. A package deal. And keep Grady on -- after all, he managed our minor-league team back in the '80s.

The Cubs should fire Dusty Baker for the same reason.

If the Red Sox are serious about ending the curse, there's only one man to consider for their next manager: "Bucky 'F...' Dent".

Bucky's baseball school is located at Fenway Park II. Coincidence? I think not!

Bad move.

Yankees first-base coach Lee Mazzilli...

Wasn't Lee Mazzilli one of the 1986 Mets who helped delivered the death blow to the Red Sox in game 6 of the Series?

According to the report, others on the Red Sox list are Yankees third-base coach Willie Randolph, Yankees first-base coach Lee Mazzilli,

Say it aint so. Especially not Willie R. Maybe they'll take Zim back since he's looking for a new job.

Jerry Remy? I dunno. The last time the Sox had a former Boston infielder as manager, he turned out to be a cocaine addict (Butch Hobson).

The only consolation I am able to take from that series is that the team didn't lose the game, grady Little did. Glad he's gone.
