I didn'...I heard this on CSN on Friday evening. I didn't catch the beginning of the report, only that Mackanin was let go. I thought "What a gutless thing for the Phillies to do! Why make a change with 3 games left in the season? What improvement can that possibly make now? Why not just let Mackanin finish out the year, seeing as how he as had to put up with the dreck supplied by Klemtak for 2 years?"<br /><br />Then I later heard that he WAS finishing out the season, and that he was "kicked upstairs". That makes this move slightly more palatable.<br /><br />Jim, a few days ago I was looking at your post about all the players that have come and gone in the past year. How interesting that for most of the players the Phillies CUT, the only work they could find was in the minors or Japan. Great job to Klemtak for finding such gems!Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
