My instant reaction is too little, too late.

This is something that should have been done months ago.

And David Stearns and Steve Cohen were blockheaded.

Is that the term?

Yeah, that's a good way to put it.

They would not give in on a change like this to try to spark the team.

So what did they do?

They waited until it was too late.

They are 13 games under 500.

They are dead and buried in any kind of playoff race.

They just got embarrassingly swept by the Chicago Cubs.

Pete Carl Armstrong says what's up.

Yeah, that's a series sweep, too.

By the way, I mean, the season sweep.

Season Series sweep.

And then they say, let's fire the manager.

So my emotion right now is anger at Cohen and Stearns that, again, the smartest guys in the room clearly don't know as much as us.

Because we all knew that they needed to change the manager

months ago. We all screamed it. We all said it. We all couched it by saying it's not his fault

and Mendie's a nice guy, but we all knew. So explain to me why Steve Cohen and David Stearns

didn't, why it took them until June 26th to do something that should have been done on April 26th.

Summer Friday news dump?
