Trey Hillman, former manager

The Royals axed Hillman.

Yeah, it's his fault.

They totally could have turned it around...and caught the ChiSox.

That GM keeps hanging on to make things worse though.

You know, the Royals have some of the biggest shots in Sabrmetrical thinking in their frustrated fanbase --- Bill James, Rob Neyer, and Rany Jazayerli. It would be cool if they called one of these smart guys out and made him GM.

Then fire them after they're exposed to be grasping at straws too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, that's part of the scenario, also.

Interesting in that they let him stay on and manage one more game --- or, as Steve Perry might say, "...just ONE MAAAWWW GAME!" He ends up getting his final victory, ending the teams seven-game skid, and getting Zach Greineke his first win of the year.
