Sad to see Maz go
The manager is always the first person to blame when things go bad. And, that's certainly the case for the Baltimore Orioles, who are making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The Orioles fired manager Lee Mazzilli. He took the fall for the team's poor performance and first baseman Rafael Palmeiro's testing positive for steroids.
I grew up as a New York Mets fan. Maz is a Mets icon. He was there for the bad old days in the late 1970's, and was part of the World Series championship team in 1986.
I understand why Mazzilli was fired. But, I really hoped things would work out for him in Baltimore.
