Does anyone else feel this is unusual and why do you think GM's seem to have declared an unofficial amnesty for beleguered bosses (Baker, Robinson, Yost?)

You would be correct...first time in a long time that no manager has been canned yet. I am not sure what the reason is. With the Cubs...it's hard to can Baker, considering he lost Derek Lee for 90% of the season...and Prior & Wood have been on the DL. They traded Maddux away, have no closer...and it isn't his fault Pierre has not had the season they hoped. For the Cubs, I would start with the GM, not the manager.
The only manager, in my opinion, that has not done much with what he has, is Ozzie Guillen. But you are not going to fire a manager that just brought the city it's first title in a LONG time.

Yes, you would be right, and that is rather unusual. Many GM's no longer want to make a switch in mid-season; I guarantee some managers will lose jobs right after the season is over.

Well one better go after the season, and that is Good Old Uncle Charlie of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Don't worry; going to be a whole host of them canned on October 2.
