Word is Phils have fired Ed Wade!
Thank you + finally!
When you don't get the job done and you fail to make the playoffs you
gotta go. Also, no playoffs and the Braves always ahead and you get the
same excuses. It grew old an Philles Phans had enough!
Hopefully things can only improve.
WADE GONE!

PHILADELPHIA - Ed Wade was fired as general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, a baseball official told The Associated Press.
The person familiar with the firing, speaking on condition of anonymity because there had been no official word of the move, said the announcement would be made at a 4 p.m. news conference.
Wade has failed to lead the Phillies to the playoffs in his eight seasons on the job. Philadelphia finished one game behind NL wild-card winner Houston at 88-74.
The Phillies haven't reached the playoffs since 1993, and have won just one championship (1980) in the franchise's 123-year history.
Wade has two years remaining on his contract and it's unknown whether he'll remain in the organization. Wade was very unpopular in Philadelphia, especially after he hired Charlie Manuel as manager to replace Larry Bowa.
Though the Phillies were in the playoff chase the entire season, fans never really warmed up to them. Attendance at 2-year-old Citizens Bank Park dropped off by almost 600,000, down from 3.25 million in 2004.
