    They were playing on the left coast last night, to me that would be the only reason...

    He was on a short leash after last years collapse and the current play didn't help.

    Minaya will be let go after his contract runs out at the end of this season. I don't think that he will be fired before the season ends. He put together a pretty good team with a legitimate ace to anchor it, but it seems that it wasn't run the right way. Minaya will have a job next year with another team for this reason.

    Maybe he deserves it, but this is weird timing considering they won 3 of their last 4.

    I heard that Minaya was the only one that supported him this long and the ownership wanted him gone long ago. The owners started to blame minaya for holding onto Randolf and that's why he fired him.....to save himself.

    I heard that, once the owner was asked who made the call, they put it back on Minaya. Shitty way to handle it.
