DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers, baseball's lone winless team, fired manager Phil Garner and general manager Randy Smith on Monday.

Luis Pujols, a coach with the Tigers, will take over as manager on an interim basis, said team president Dave Dombrowski, who will assume the GM's job.

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

Fletcher got his wish

any thoughts on that standard betting rule--that you always take the team in next game after coach is fired. Was a winner in NHL and NBA this season.

think it might work tonight?

good ? terryray, but i havent watched enough baseball this yr to bet this one--but i know some will subscribe to that theory--

I always thought Garner was hopeless.

 

[Terryray]

did the players think that? Will they be excited tonight?

Wigs, sure am busy with NHL and MLB going on!!

 

[wigs]

well, looks like it doesnt matter, i think that det game is postponed tonight due to rain.

terryray, yeah i havent had much time lately to post what i read, lots of games i agree, just will be upset after this free preview of mlb extra innings runs out--take it easy

 

[fletcher]
