The St Louis Cardinals fired manager Mike Metheny last night.

The timing of the firing, the day before the five day All Star Break, is being questioned.

Thoughts on Metheny's dismissal?

Firing a manager mid season is always odd timing. In this case, I think ownership and front office people have lost confidence in his ability to manage or even think competently about baseball, but still think the team has a shot at the playoffs this year. Maybe a new skipper will be the solution
