Will Larry Bowa get fired?
Wagerweb releases odds on whether the Philadelphia Phillies skipper,
Larry Bowa, gets fired before the conclusion of the 2004 MLB season?
Expectations were extremely high this season for the Philadelphia
Phillies. A new stadium and $93 million dollars in salaries had
the "City of Brotherly Love" foaming at the mouth at the start of the
season.
Unfortunately, the team has failed to live up to expectations. They
are a far cry from the dominant NL East force many predicted they
would become this season. At 53-52 they are only 1 game over .500
and sit 4 games behind the division leading Braves.
To add insult to injury they have been absolutely outplayed by
division rival Florida Marlins, including a recent four game sweep.
They are 1-11 this season versus the Marlins and 3-23 dating back to
last season.
As is customary in all sports and especially in Philadelphia, the
manager has to find a way to keep his team competitive. If a manager
fails to do so, he can more than likely expect to be the first on the
chopping block.
"Larry Bowa has been loved in Philadelphia for a long time. He was
part of the amazing 1980 World Series team that included other greats
like Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton," says CEO of Wagerweb Dave
Johnson. "However, as the skipper of this years team, he has to
accept the brunt of the criticism for the team's shortcomings. Fans
in Philly are an agressive bunch and if Bowa doesn't turn things
around quickly, they will be calling for his head."
