Because it didn’t sit well with the fans and Cal was retiring. The man was not fired for that and the organization made comments because they took up for their boy. Its called Public Relations. Every major company or organization uses this tool to relay their thoughts, opinions, stances, on a number of different situations. They also use it to hide internal struggles, back door deals,bureaucratic bull shit, internal dislike because someone fucked someones wife, bad moves, good moves, etc…….It’s all perception and the public believes everything they here. That was just a reason to get the fans on board with the termination.

Also this is what you said

When Wren is fired after the season, part of the announcement reads: “In the opinion of management, there was no need for such an arbitrary and inflexible decision. In the meeting, Wren defiantly dismissed our concerns, characterized them as ’silly’ and insisted he would invoke the same takeoff order no matter what the extenuating circumstances. The Orioles management cannot and will not abide having a GM operate in such an unreasonable, authoritarian manner and treat anyone this way, especially someone such as Cal who has done so much for the Orioles and for baseball.”

So you basically insinuate that part of the reason for his dismissal was this situation. Because you specifically state the managements side on the issue as part of the reason for his dismissal. So that’s where you said it.

Ive flown numerous times and have been through many different airports, and never have i ever seen a professional sports team setting in security or waiting by a termal to get on a flight. Im pretty sure that they fly a little differently from your everyday person. So saying a connecting flight was a legitimate reason to leave doesnt make sense to me nor does he should have been there earlier, to what sit in security. That doesnt matter.

Frank Wren is an idiot, im trying to think right now whats one good he has done since he took the gm spot. Tex? last time i checked, that didnt do shit for us. This John Smoltz thing is rediculous, I hope he has a career season this year. He deserves it, He’s a class act.
