Orioles clip manager's wings

Sam Perlozzo finally got the expected axing by Baltimore. The only way Baltimore's season could be worse for the fans is if Boog Powell decided to shutdown his barbecue spot on Eutaw Street.
The crew at Deadspin say Sam's whacking was a courtesy assassination for incoming executive Andy MacPhail. That way he can make Joe Girardi the next unfortunate bastard to work as manager under Peter Angelos.
Baltimore's behind Tampa Bay and everyone else in the AL East. They're average at hitting, no worse than a lot of teams at hitting, and lead the AL in fielding. They manage to find more ways to lose than anyone not watching games in Texas or Kansas City. Or Cincinnati, which has redefined the phrase "crappy baseball" for everyone this year.
Cal Ripken Day on July 24th should be a lot of fun. The Ironman probably wishes the O's would just send him a cake instead of making him come out to the park.
