   | Lou Pinella Being that there are so many avid Mariners fans here, I am surprised that there is not already a thread about this here... Well, it looks like Lou Pinella is leaving Seattle, probably for the East coast. Interesting implications there... I would like to hear your opinions on This. It it good or bad for the M's? Good or bad for Pinella? What may have caused this, outside of the published story of being closer to family? In my opinion, this stinks for the M's. Lou brought this team from not that great with a few superstars to great with out many at all. Of course, this could open the door for another great manager, Dusty Baker. I am obviously hoping that this doesn't happen, as I've seen Dusty do SO much with so little for so many years... I'd like to see him in San Fran for another 10 years.

| To be honest I don't know much about Louis P but from what I have heard, it might not be so bad for Seattle. He's been there for a while, brought them from the gutter to stardom and it might be time for the M's to realize they can do it without Lou and the Mariners might need to experience the managerial gifts of another guy. |

| Well, I can understand his wanting to be close to his parents, and family and stuff. He had to take several days off this year because of urgent family business in Tampa. There have been rumours as to whether or not the front office's unwillingness to increase the budget factored in, but I'm inclined to believe that they don't. He gave a really touching interview here a few days ago. Broke down and cried. As for whether or not it's a good/bad thing for the team, that all depends on who they get as the next manager. But the Mariners were right to let him go. It's folly to force someone to stay who really doesn't want to stay. Their heart won't be in it, and it's a lose/lose all around. I'd love to see Dusty Baker come in here...  Sucks for the Giants, but it would be awesome for the Mariners. |

| there really isn't a good choice of managers anymore, so for him to leave Seattle, it's going to bring Seattle down I think unless they can get a high quality manager. Maybe Don Baylor? |

| :'( I'm really sad to see sweet Lou leave like this. But if he really wants to go i think it's smart for the m's to let him. I hope we get someone just as good or better. I'm gonna miss that guy. :'( Nathan |
