Mariners Fire GM Bill Bavasi

KING 5 and the AP are reporting the M's have fired much-debated General Manager Bill Bavasi. Apparently, the booing worked. Bavasi has been replaced by Lee Pelekoudas, who will be acting on an interim basis, while a GM search is conducted.

Under Bavasi this season, the Mariners were the worst team in baseball with a 24-45 record. Last weekend, the M's were swept at home by the second-worst team in the majors, the Washington Nationals.

We're *so* bad that it's hard to imagine that it's all due to the manager, or that a change will simply turn things around.

Yes, I agree that the M's are not going to go on a 10 game winning streak now that Bavasi has been canned, but you have to stop the bleeding sometime.

High payroll + low winning percentage = Unemployed GM
