Orioles fire Perlozzo as manager - Yahoo! News:
BALTIMORE - Sam Perlozzo was fired as manager of the
Baltimore Orioles on Monday with the last-place team in the midst of an eight-game losing streak.

Perlozzo's firing was disclosed by a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. The Orioles scheduled a news conference for later Monday.

Bullpen coach Dave Trembley, who has served as a minor league manager in the organization, will be the interim manager when the Orioles begin a six-game trip in San Diego on Tuesday.
Ok, let me get this straight. You fire the manager because of a losing streak (nevermind that its hardly the worse streak in Oriole history), and then (yes, interimly) replace him with the bullpen coach...

...when it's the bullpen that keeps losing the games every night??????

makes sense to me...NOT.

Of course, I see it as "nothing new to see here, move along", as throughout the entire 90s, the bullpen cost the Orioles more games than I want to remember...

The only reason I can think of for naming Trembly the interim manager is he's probably the only coach with managing experience (just a guess, though). I'd be very surprised if they make it permanent.

Not many of the moves the Orioles have made since firing Davey Johnson have made much sense. Course, I pretty much stopped following the O's after that, since that was the biggest dumbshit move that Angelos made. Ironically, the rumor that has been going around is that Angelos wants to bring back Davey Johnson. Never mind that this team is a shadow of what he had when he was here...

I never really liked the midseason firing move. To me, that's the FO telling the players that the season is over, even with half the season left. It almost never improves morale or production and just guarantees that the team will sink into the crapper.
