Gibbons Out, Gaston In

Cito Gaston returns as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, as John Gibbons and three other coaches were shown the door.

I say it's two years too late, but better late than never. Listening to Fan 590 tonight will be very interesting, as Gibbons/Blue Jays shill Mike Wilner will no doubt try to cover his ass for protecting Gibbons for the past 3 years. Wilner is never worth listening to except when you want to learn how not to play the game of baseball.

As for Cito, it will be good to see him back, but I have to feel sorry for him. Being handed a baseball team that can't hit is much like being given the keys to a car that's missing a couple of cylinders. Still, he's got nothing to lose. If the team continues to tank, it's all on Gibbons and general manager JP Ricciardi. If the team does well, then he can take credit.
