The Miami Marlins fired manager Ozzie Guillen yesterday after just one season. While I cannot say that I saw the move coming, especially after Miami traded their overpaid and outspoken closer, Heath Bell, to start with a fresh start in the dugout by dealing the player who criticized the manager most. While I felt that move was a clue that Guillen would get one more year at least to turn things around, I also cannot say that this came as a huge surprise.
After all, can anything truly be a surprise when it involves the Marlins and their ignorant owner, Jeffrey Loria?
Seriously, they do not get any more moronic than Loria. He has got to be one of the worst owners in all of professional sports. He has absolutely no idea how to successfully run a Major League Baseball franchise. The fact that not only does he not know that, but also surrounds himself with some of the most clueless front office executives on the planet further illustrates the problem.

We probably should have seen this one coming, but now, it's official: Ozzie Guillen is out as Marlins manager after just one season. Firing him nearly three weeks after the season ended seems like a bit of a low blow by Miami, with many major league coaching vacancies already filled. That also doesn't bode well for Miami's search for a replacement, as a lot of the sexiest...

Anyone who even casually reads this blog must know my opinion of Ozzie Guillen, which is, to put it mildly, that I don’t like him and that I don’t think he is a very good manager. Instead of writing a post abut how terrible Ozzie is and how much he deserved to be fired (he is very terrible and well deserved his fate), I’m going to focus on the future of the Miami Marlins...

My colleague Rob Kelley has been on the record as saying that if the Miami Marlins fire Ozzie Guillen it will be a sign that they are a bush league organization. I can certainly understand the impulse and today the Marlins became the bush league organization in his and many others eyes. That is because the Marlins announced that they have fired Ozzie Guillen one year into his four...

Prior to the 2012 season, the Marlins changed their name, their uniforms, their home address and most notably, their locks on the team’s piggy banks. Or to be more accurate, they got rid of those locks altogether, spending money freely to sign, sign and sign some more big-name players. In addition to the well-known players they added to their roster, Miami also added a manager...

In 1968, 34 years before he would become the owner of the Florida (now Miami) Marlins, Jeffrey H. Loria published his second book -- What's it All About, Charlie Brown? The book is a philosophical look at life through the lens of the Charles Schultz comic strip, which is just too appropriate considering that the businessman and art collector has turned the organization into a...
