Blue Jays fire manager John Gibbons, hire Cito Gaston

Its been a LONG time since I've seen that stache.

about time. jays have always struggled finding a good manager. i never knew why gibbons was a professional manager in the first place, he doesn't even manage!

jays have the best starting pitching in baseball and aren't even near .500. it was time for a change

I agree. Gibbons to me always seemed like he was managing to solve a problem rather than managing to prevent a problem. I just don't think he's a good manager at all.

Point in case, all those 5 run CG outings by Halladay that he ended up losing. Everyone is like "oh, but he gave up 3 of the runs in the 8th or 9th." Well yeah, he did, that's why you take him out BEFORE that happens.

Gibbons wasn't good.....no consistency in his lineups

I didn't even know Cito Gaston was still alive.

Neither did I until they hired him. I thought he just disappeared back into the land of lucky managers and huge mustaches.

Gibbons was the worst manager in the bigs for 2 full seasons and now they finally pull the plug . The Blow Jays are a mess and they don't have a shot this year regardless of Gastons magic.

JP should be next on the list to be fired... The Jays have been desperate for a big bat, or even another above average bat, and he's failed misserably to bring someone in. No more excuses for this bum, cut him loose.

Agreed. He's done such a horrible job with the exception of getting BJ Ryan. You could even make a case for it being a bad idea to lock up young guys like Vernon Wells and Alex Rios.
