I have to say, I didn't see this coming, especially not with the M's playing as well as they have this year, and especially during a 7 game winning streak in which they've climbed to 11 games over .500. I have to assume this is family related, and not baseball related. I hope all is well.

    Wow, all the talk of the M's being on top of their game as of late and this? Weird

    Yeah I could see how a team who's 12 games over .500 and has won 8 in a row would be depressing. I could, though, see how 35 baseball seasons would wear on a guy to the point where he just doesn't want to do it anymore.

    I was surprised to hear this yesterday. He always seemed like a level-headed manager that guys liked to play for, and his team was as hot as they have been in years. The timing makes no sense to me, but I'm sure there is more to the story that I don't know. I definitely hope he's alright, and in a way, you have to admire him for doing what he wants regardless of the pressures around him.

    the team isnt depressing, maybe the CITY is too damn depressing, or it rains too much...or Mike went off his Prozac! lol.

    Ive met him on two occasions, both times he was a class act and signed a ball and two hats. and he posed for pictures. I wish him well.

    Hargrove has nothing to do with them being 11 over 500. He has made numerous managerial blunders this year, they are better without him...
    Am I speaking Chinese?

    I don't think anyone was claiming he was solely responsible, but he has made some fantastic moves with the bullpen this year that a lesser manager might not have made.

    0-1 without him.

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    That's 2 out of 3 just awful, awful outings for Feirabend. He's got good stuff but something is just wrong.

    I am hoping he's part of a package that gets sent to Chicago for Buerhle.
