Slog - Comments on Hargrove Out http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/hargrove_out Mariners skipper Mike Hargrove has resigned: "Over the past several weeks, I have come to the realization that to be fair to myself and the team, I can not continue to do this job if my passion has begun to fade," Hargrove said, according to the release. With the Mariners on a 7-game winning streak, and just four games behind the Angels, Hargrove's departure is a shock. Bench coach John McLaren will take over. Seth at Enjoy the Enjoyment is currently blogging the press conference....

So you guide the M's to two losing seasons, and when they're finally having a good season and are in playoff contention, you bail halfway through and jeopardize the remainder of the season. Thanks, jerk.

The Mariners need to win the World Series or they have to pay us back for the $500 Million that we spent on that damn stadium. Anyone with me?

I'm starting to wonder if the actual reasons for departure were different than the stated reasons. It's no secret that many in the org, including several players, including our beloved Ichiro, did not like the guy, despite the public support.

Is there ever a good time? He sees the team back to winning ways on an up season. He's just being a real person here, confronting the rigors of a demanding lifestyle.

It's up to everyone left standing to do a good job and keep it going. If they appreciate Hargrove's efforts and strength of his career, they will.

Seriously. I didn't much like the way he managed, but he did some things very, very well, like using Putz intelligently, and contrary to "the book". I wish him well, and I hope he changes his mind and is back in baseball next year.

I dont think a seasoned veteran like Hargrove would leave in the middle of what could be the begining of a penant run.
