I knew several Indians fans that hate Wedge.

Who other than probably Bobby Cox is universally liked?

 

All managers have flaws.

I don't get why its so hard to find a manager who simply knows what he is doing and avoids stupid mistakes. I mean, they do get paid a lot, and I'm sure all the top talent wants to be a manager. The problem must lie with the GMs. They simply don't know what makes a good manager, and hire the wrong people. But could a non ex-player get the respect of his team? If so, I'm surprised someone like Billy Beane hasn't simply hired a scholar of the game rather than only players of it.

I would think some Brave fans wouldn't like Cox because of his lack of success in the playoffs (I wouldn't be one of those if I had to be a Braves fan).

Really though, if I was a Braves fan I would be concerned. How can you dominate your division win against other teams during the regular season and then get into the playoffs and always be knocked off in the first round? Not blaming Cox but as a fan it would bother me. Then again, at least they are always respectable and make it to the playoffs unlike another team we know.

Most Sox fans love Guillen, but most Sox fans are idiots.
