Greinke Wins AL Cy Young and Dick Jauron Fired

Not many good things have happened for the Royals in recent seasons. They seem to always be under .500, they can't assemble a good team and I hate their light blue uniforms. However there is a single ray of light: Zack Greinke won the AL Cy Young. Greinke had a the best ERA in the Majors with 2.16. He also was 16-8 with 242 K's. It's amazing that Greinke had the record he did with the Royals who couldn't give him the run support he deserved. It didn't matter though as he still won the award.

Sad news for Dick Jauron as he joins the unemployed of America as he was fired by the Bills yesterday. He had three seasons of 7-9 for the Bills and has now left the team at 3-6. To be fair, Jauron was in a division that has the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins. All tough teams and very hard to beat every time. But by the fourth season you need to know what you're doing with the team and how to play these guys. I still think he should have been fired at the end of the year. I think head coaching job and manager job mid-season changes might just confuse the team even more.

P.S. Though manager changes have done something positive at times. However Head Coach is a little different from a Manager in baseball.
