In this case, I find the stoic, mumbling, hard to understand Jim Leyland needs to be gone. Not that these grown men of summer need motivation, but we need a Lou Pinella, Jow Torre type who can motivate. I am tired of all of his indifference. How can such a good team end up in last place? I would have expected this if you simply don't have the players. A change is needed with the manager and all the dead weight Detroit has. Naturally not winning, everyone wants the manager fired.

Jim Leyland should not, in my view, be singled out. If anyone's got the name of someone who would (a) do better and (b) is available, I'd be interested to hear it. There are many problems with this team, but the ownership and management of the team aren't among them.
