"Jim and I worked very hard over the last week to try and see if we could make it work and to try to see how we could work going forward," said new general manager Neal Huntington, who took over with only six days left in the season. "But at the end of the day, it was decided it was probably better to part ways."
Even as incompetent as Jim Tracy is, how the hell can you claim that you "worked very hard" at making things work out yet your mind was already made up by firing the guy? I also love how Kneel takes responsibility for his own actions by using the words "it was decided."
