Cincinatti 2002-: Nothing to Something?
THE CINERGY HERALD (REDS FANZINE)
Boone Fired...Replacement Lined-Up
Cincinatti Manager, Bob Boone, was fired by the Cinicnatti Reds franchise last night.
A number of reasons, centring around Boone's inability to rebuild the Reds have been cited in the official press release.
Veteran Shortstop and team-leader, Barry Larkin, spoke on behalf of the players last night. 'This is an unfortunate situation. The front office made it hard for Bob - the players feel that he has been made the fall guy for our situation'.
As far as news on his possible replacement, Buffallo Bisons Manager has been implicared. Bisons are the AAA affiliate of the Reds' neighbours, the Cleveland Indians.
was unable to comment last night...
THE CINERGY HERLAD
Indians AAA Manager Named New Reds' Coach
As reported by the Herald five days ago- manager of Cleveland's AAA team - has been named new Cincinatti manager.
This appointment comes as a shock to many Buckeyes, despite fantastic record with the Buffallo Bisons last season.
One Cinicantti fan commented, 'this appointment is another example of the suits at Cinergy ruining our club. This new manager is a no-name with zero Major League experience. The owners don't take their own club seriously'.
Cincinatti went 66-96 last season, and faces an uphill struggle if the Reds are going to improve this year...
