A Bad Day Heading Downhill Fast: Dodgers Fire Tracy

The Los Angeles Dodgers have capped one of the worst seasons in their L.A. history by firing manager Jim Tracy (unless you want to charitably call it "a parting of the ways" as it's being cast in the media). The person they should be firing is General Manager Paul DePodesta, the man who saddled Tracy with a bunch of malcontents and minor leaguers. Tracy has been a miracle worker given what he's had to work with since mid '04 in particular.
