Not that any manager could make that team respectable. Sucks for Tracy, sure was a nice guy, just not much of a manager.

LaRussa couldn't make that team play better

you can't cook really great food with inferior ingredients

Makes sense. Littlefield got canned a couple weeks ago, so they'll probably start fresh with some much needed competency.

Batting Cesar Izturis and his .290 OBP leadoff while benching Jack Wilson may have been a mistake.

Cesar looks like he's becoming the mark of death for managers. 3 straight years, 3 straight managers fired (though it was Tracy 2 of those years!)
