Around the League: Edwin Rodriguez Resigns
Word is out that Edwin Rodriguez, manager of the Florida Marlins has resigned. Ordinarily something like that wouldn't rate a comment on this Giants oriented blog, but the Marlins just happen to be the team that came into San Francisco a few weeks ago riding high. They figuratively ransacked the city, massacred the men and took the women and children into captivity. Oh, and they absolutely tore the hearts out of the team and it's fans by injuring the Savior of the Team, Buster Posey. Well, Karma is a bitch! Since that awful week, the Marlins are the team that went into a tailspin they haven't recovered from. Scott Cousins is on the DL. His mouthy roommate, Logan Morrison, has been told to "shut up and hit" by the owner. The Batting Coach has been fired, and now the manager has resigned. I have to think that the emotional trauma of the Buster injury and the ensuing media firestorm was even greater for the guilty team. What goes around, comes around. The Baseball Gods have their ways of meting out their own brand of justice.

Its unfortunate when any manager has to resign. Never saw the Marlins downward spiral coming with the young talent on that team. Its ironic that even Cousins is on the DL. Like you said, Karma is a bitch! The 2011 Giants know that all to well with all their injuries. My prayers are that Posey and Sanchez come back fully healthy for 2012. Personally, whats disappointing for me was a local TV station here in Hawaii got the rights to carry 13 Giants game throughout the year. I was looking forward to seeing Posey play throughout the year and this happens. Oh well, I'm sure the Giants fans everywhere are disappointed that they can't see Posey play this year.
