Okay so here it is the final Facebook Reactions to Eric Wedge's firing post.
The first one is here.
The second one sits here.
This definitely was fun to make fun of people.. So I'm going to do it again in the future.
Facebook Reactions to Eric Wedge's firing, the final installment, starts now.
---
It's about damn time!!! now all we have to do is get rid of the browns staff, bring omar, manny, and thome back, maybe get sandy alomar and stop with this constant getting to the big show and epically failing. And for the love of God get rid of Shapiro, anyone that gets rid of victor for 3 prospects should be hung!!!
Why not go and get Belle while we are at it. Hang Shapiro for trading away a player? You will change your tune in a few years with Nick Hagadone is owning people.
Greatest headline in Cleveland sports history.
Until ‘Cleveland Indians Win World Series’ of course.
HALLLEAAAAAALUAEAAAHHAHAHAHHAHAH YEAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
That’s an interesting take….
how about the GM!!
How about him?
is phil jackson an amazing coach? get rid of michael jordan and scottie pippen...would the bulls go anywhere? if kobe left the lakers? how is wedge supposed to be successful with grady sizemore and basically no one else? i hate when coaches are the scapegoat for a more fundamental problem with an organization. sometimes, there is a problem with a coach and his philosophy (i.e. the buffalo bills right now....decent talent but anemic offense due to playcalling), but not in this case.
Uh Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen… What’s this have to do with anything? Maybe he should go coach the Blazers and trade for Jason Davis.
When they lose close to a hundred games next year, maybe we'll learn it wasn't Wedges fault. You can't polish a turd. And with a complete lack of intrest in keeping good players, let alone signing anyone worth a damn. Well the tribe is destined to be crap.
It’s their destiny! To Be Crap!
Keep on firing! More! More!
I WANT MORE!!
now get ride of our dumb GM
Man he’s dumb… That ivy-league graduate..
thank god! I miss Hargrove
I don’t.
You guys are idiots,. The talent we had at the beginning of the year was more than enough to contend for a playoff spot. Sizemore, Derosa, Martinez, Cabrera, Choo. Our typical IL failure under Wedge and first half disaster is the reason why Shapiro traded what he did.
Agree for the most part.
Take Travis Hafner with you.
Shut up…
Wonder where Hargrove is these days?????HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Not managing Cleveland, thankfully.
Now we will have to start all over again with a new manager, I don't think we will ever re-build
You mean completion of the re-building of course? They just did re-build a few years ago, weirdo.
Very happy to get this Wedge off our back, been saying that for some time. Now who's available, hmm... well, he's not, but I want Pinella!
Wedge was on your back? Man you should have told him to get off. Why would you want Piniella, especially if he was on your back?
I am not a fan of Shapiro but I believe he traded those top players on the order of Dolan.
Somewhat, yes. Moolah.
I wonder how many of you have ever played baseball at any level? Has your coach ever made a difference in going 0-4 or 4-4 as a hitter, or leaving the ball up in the zone, to firing one for strike 3 as pitcher. NO!!!! Don't get me wrong, I think it was time to go, afterall, baseball is a business! But, give the guy a break, I can remember when 2 years ago when he won AL manager of the year, and he was loved by all tribe fans. Now, he's being ran out of town. I have a feeling he will be successfull wherever he goes next....Good luck E!
Bravo, this is a good one.
Good luck coach Wedge
Yay Coach Wedge!
thank you eric wedge you did your best
I did my best… I did my best.
take travis hafner and kelly shoppach too!!!
Again getting on Pronk.. Stop it people.
they never should have gotten rid of Louie Isaac
Yeah that’s definitely why this team sucked.
thats sad. i kinda liked wedgie. no1 liked him...but hello??? who was the manger in 2007 when we went to the playoffs?
Hello, we know this! That’s why it’s so frustrating.
WTF?????!!!! Sad face....
Always welcome more sympathy.
For two years, the excuses have been old. Regardless of whether or not Wedge was a good coach, he didn't produce playoff teams. You can only use so many excuses until the blame lands directly on you. We will miss you Wedge - but it was time for a change.
Agree last part, excuses is an interesting thing because he never made them.
The Dolans have also decided to rename the ballpark: REGRESSIVE FIELD
Hahahaha ohh man you are clever aren’t you. No.. No You aren't.
Now if only a way can be found to get rid of the Dolans and put a salary cap on baseball so that the best players don't end up in New York or Boston when their contracts run out.
Why would you get rid of the Dolans if you got a salary cap? Confuse yourself much?
Regresssive? I thought it was called The Joke.
Which is exactly what your comment is, a joke, a very bad one at that.
i vote for joel skinner for manager
I vote for you to not have a vote,
Nice guy, bad manager. Would have liked to see him suceed in Cleve.
I’d like to see him dewel werevr he goez.
Thank you for everything. Eric won al manager of the year 2 years ago and led the Indians to a great year. I'm not happy to see him go, but we all have to move on eventually. It all wasn't his fault. We traded 2 Cy young award pitchers in two years, how stupid is that! Thank you for everything and best of luck to you in the future.
That’s incredibly stupid!
Bring back nickel beer night...
Yeah this is just funny… So random
It's about time they fired the entire coaching staff. Happy trails Wedge and other coaches. Your time in C town is OVER. Thanks for a terrible year, a year we Indians fans want to forget. Wedge was way overrated, but more importantly, he was not a players coach.
Yep, thanks for the terrible year, you jerk. I can't answer this one not-seriously because it's so dead wrong. NOT a players coach? Wedge always put the players first.
I love Wedgie! How ironic that people are saying "where is Hargrove" do you not remember the same stuff was said about him??? Will you be saying where is Wedge in a few??? People, it's not the manager, it's the GM and the owner.
Holy crap, someone that makes sense.
There should be a parade in downtown Cleveland!
For what? Did we win something?
Agreed, it's not just management. Look at Charlie Manuel, with a World Series ring on his finger after leaving Cleveland. Eric, take your 1.3 and the summer off with your wife & kids, and enjoy yourself. Then find a team who will give you the tools you need to succeed. Good luck!
You can buy a lot of tools with 1.3 million. A few hammers, maybe an entire set of screwdrivers.
