Fire Perlozzo Now

Leyland, Torre, Weaver, Stengel, LaRussa--are managers who can impact a game. Perlozzo is not that type of manager. He validates and enables, sends mixed messages, second-guesses himself, and most of all does not inspire in the least. His postgame news conferences are, even in their most energized form, banal. He's likable and a good guy, but his presence will not win games.
