Wakamatsu

By Blaidd Drwg

By now, you have heard that Don Wakamatsu has been fired. According to a few things that I have read, one of the reasons for his firing was that he lost control of the clubhouse because he was believed by Griffey to be the leak in the entire Griffey/Napgate incident. He also supposedly pressured Griffey into retiring.

If that is true:
1) I have a new level of respect for Wak for showing just how much of a prima donna Griffey is.
2) I have no respect for the Mariners organization for backing a player over the manager, especially since it was painfully obvious to everyone that Griffey was done.

So much for stocking the clubhouse full of “character” guys.
