Rangers deny firing Washington
Posted: Friday May 09, 2008 06:37AM ET
The Rangers finished a winning road trip through the AL West on Thursday night. That came on the heels of a winning homestand. And still general manager Jon Daniels couldn't escape the issue of manager Ron Washington's job security. In response to a blog post on the Dallas Observer's Web site that, citing unnamed sources, said the Rangers have already decided to change managers, Daniels said the topic is not an "active conversation." He said it wouldn't be revisited until the All-Star break -- at the earliest. He said the story was full of inaccuracies, but declined to discuss those inaccuracies.

Report Offensive CommentFire Washington, Daniels, Hicks, and let Ryan take over. He'll make the team into a bunch of winners.

Report Offensive CommentThe Rangers will fire him when/if they want. People need to step off about it.

Report Offensive CommentInstead of changing managers every couple of years, why not try bringing in REAL pitchers that can actually WIN games.

Report Offensive CommentThis poor **** never had a chance. He looks like a crack dealer, and could probably go down to the ghetto and get some crack dealers that could outpitch his current rotation.

Report Offensive CommentI am so thankfull the Washington era is coming to an end. Rangers have got to add more speed to go along with Kinsler at 2B...and the only place to do that is at SS or CF, I do like Bradley, Hamilton and Murphy in OF, but I think now is the time to trade Young...This team needs speed and fire....I'd like to see them go after Will Clark in some role with this teams management...whose intensity got them to the playoffs years ago...he's working in the Diamondbacks front office these days....
