Charlie Manuel. He's killing the Phillies. This guy couldn't manage a cold. The Phillies have a good team and with the right leadership they will do much better.

Not to be repetitive but I've got to say Joe Torre. The Yankees are currently in 3rd place and they trail the Red Sox by 7 games. We all know that if there is one man that will not stand for that it is Steinbrenner.
A case could be made for Gibbons in Toronto or Manuel in Philly, because both teams had high hopes going into this season. Heck, the Phillies were "the team to beat" this year in the NL East. Both teams have yet to play up to potential and that could lead to either or both being out of a job.
However, I don't think that Steinbrenner has been happy with Torre ever since the Yanks blew the ALCS to the Sox a few years ago. The Yanks have 12 of their next 14 games against the White Sox, Mets, and Angels, if they don't go at least .500 in those games and take at least 2 of 3 from Boston than Torre will be job hunting by the end of the month.

It's definately John Gibbons in Toronto, the team had high expectations, even in the AL east but they are doing horrible, even though B.J Ryan is out for the year and Halladay just went on the DL he's gonna get fired really soon.

Yeah, I've been hearing buzz about Torre getting the axe for a few years now. And if they don't stay out of the basement of the AL East, it might actually happen this year.

you can argue for john gibbons in toronto, but he's been hit hard with injuries and might get a free pass...i think charlie manuel has the best chance, they had very high hopes in a winnable division with their talent, but instead they've fallen flat to start the season just like they seem to every year...close second is sam perlozzo of the orioles, they have had the talent to win for a couple years now and it has yet to pan out

Manager? Good question. Charlie Manuel is still on thin, thin ice.
GM - you can't lie to the fans and expect to keep your job - Riccardi. I've been in his camp until this week, but for me, that's inexcusable and cause to lose your job, no matter what your job may be. It's as bad as lying on your resume.

jerry narron of the cincinnati reds. the reds stink this year because once the starter hits 100 pitches he is gone and the bullpen is in and the bullpen stinks right now. even if the starter was 1 out away from a perfect game if he had 100 pitches narron would take him out

Joe Torre,

I wouldn't mind seeing the Astros cashiering Garner. His roster doesn't give him a lot to work with, but he makes the least of it anyway.
