CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Indians announced on Wednesday that manager Eric Wedge would not be retained for the 2010 season, Fox 8 News reports.

Wedge guided the Indians to one playoff appearance in seven seasons, and this year the club fell out of contention early and is currently one game out of last place in the AL Central.

The Indians have scheduled a Wednesday afternoon news conference at Progressive Field to announce Wedge's dismissal.

Cleveland's coaching staff -- seven members in all -- has also been informed it will not be retained, but some of the staff could be re-hired by the Indians' next manager.

Wedge and his coaching staff will finish out the season in their current capacities.

It was probably time.

It's just sad that his watch started out with such promise (especially in 2007) ended this way. ohno:

Hey Wedge there's one thing I have to tell you...

:yousuck:

^ Gee, Paul, how do you REALLY feel?? :eek: :lol:

^ Gee, Paul, how do you REALLY feel?? :eek: :lol:

Well...not that good when I heard our city's the 2nd poorest again next to Detroit and Ohio has three cities in the top-10 poorest cities.

But I hope the Dolans think of something fast otherwise we'll be having Quarter Beer Nights at Jacobs Field.:crazy:

The news just keeps getting better and better, huh?? :mad: It's good that someone else besides me still calls the baseball park in Cleveland Jacobs Field. It is, was and ALWAYS will be The Jake to me. SO THERE. :nod:

^I'm just not a sports fan. Baseball and Football just crush me, basketball is questionable, but if we ever do win a Championship even with Basketball it will be like the Rio Carnival and New Orleans Mardi Gras combined!

But as of now...hockey is my sport since there's no Cleveland team to break my heart (only Columbus) and soccer since I hope for Team U.S.A. to win it all, but IMO The US Soccer Team is like Cleveland, a small market trying to make it big...but always fall short.

And funny thing is the Nats haven't fired anyone-lol Everyone has a secure job when they all failed this year and last and the year before that.

Just like things were when they were still the Montreal Expos. :eek:

At least when they were the Expo's they were a competitive team. Except maybe the last season or two before they moved. But that's only because management traded away all the star players just to reduce the payroll. :mad:

Which is exactly what the Indians are doing now. We had two pitchers win the Cy Young in 2007 and 2008 - and both were traded away. :mad:

I'm really sorry Monika, I really am :(. I can feel and relate with you their too though. Curt Schilling, Bobby Abreu- players that were good that got traded. Abreu for a fruit basket to the Yankees and Schilling was the best player/pitcher on the Phillies for years, and he goes to Arizona where Randy Johnson is, and they win a World Series that year and Curt gets Co-MVP honors with Big Unit. It sucks, even though they did great vs. NY that post-season. It just sucks. Ya I know.

^ The most ironic thing is that Charlie Manuel went on to win a World Series - not in Cleveland, of course. :rolleyes:

It didn't have anything to do with his goofy a$$, he was just at the right place at the right time. All the credit goes to their GM for the players they got, not Uncle D*ckead-lol

Is Charlie still in Philly?

it had every much to do with him. you disrespect charlie again and I am coming to Philly. and that is a promise. call it a threat but that is a PROMISE. He is the nicest guy in the world and he very much so lead us to the WS and won it. Your sorry ass is just mad that we won, not at Charlie. So stop with the bickering.

Right place at the right time is when the lotto machine at the casinos gives you $4 mil, instead of $100. That is being at the right place at the right time. Or if it spills out more coins then necessary, as well. The Phillies rightfully earned their WS, and until you or Brian can accept and realize and respect that, I will emphasize and brag more.

Boy, the disrespect train just never stops from your neck of the woods, does it? And by your neck of the woods, I mean you. It's wrong.

Is Charlie still in Philly?


Yeah his goofy a$$ ain't going anywhere no time soon

Is Charlie still in Philly?

YES. Just ignore Solomon. I might kick him in the nads for what he said. Charlie has never done anything to hurt him.

.....except maybe when we won the World Series :lol:. I didn't think about that, until Solomon said he would be on the toilet during the parade that I went to as well. Still, Charlie has never done anything bad to hurt Solomon. He is just bitter and nasty and how he'll always be.

Yeah his goofy a$$ ain't going anywhere no time soon

world series champions!!!!!!!!! and charlie pulled the strings to make that possible, and is a part of that.

you mad??

Cleveland Indians are never gonna win a championship anyway LOL. So it doesn't matter who's coaching them LOL.

My question is - why did the Indians divulge this with just a few days of the season left? Couldn't they have waited until the season was over until the announcement was made? :confused:
