MLB: Another chewed up Baltimore manager
After massive fan resentment, in the form of paper bags over heads at games, the struggling Orioles finally decided to listen: by letting go of manager Sam Perlozzo. Perlozzo was responsable for importing a high-cost bullpen, one that chewed up the organization's money but could not produce on gameday. The move was forseen by the Orioles' slump at last place and their eight game losing drive that culminated in Perlozzo losing his job. The Orioles haven't had much success, and their failures may not be credited to their manager's faulty work either. Their current record is now 29-40, worst in their division and fith worse in the MLB. To make things worse, the Sam Perlozzo's bullpen recruiting cost an irreplaceable 42 million dollars of Orioles money, adding insult to the team's seasonal inuries. Perlozzo's successor will be bullpen manager Dave Trembley, and will start his duties when the team heads off to face the San Diego Padres early next week.
