Even though Theo came out after the first Philly loss in support of Shady “Chicken” Little, my feeling is that Little will be looking for employment after this season if not sooner. I am not the only one who is starting to see handwriting on the wall.

Epstein blamed the loss on "bad situational hitting and bad situational pitching." He did not second-guess Little's decision to pitch to Thome, at least not publicly. The manager seemed to take exception that others may have (Heuschkel, Hartford Courant).

Like Joe Friday just the facts please:
1. Theo believes that a designated “closer” is not necessary. The best RP should not always pitch in the ninth. Little named Lyon as the closer,
2. Little has stated that Nixon will be starting against lefties. Then, Theo signs right-handed hitting Gabe Kapler to be a fourth outfielder,
3. Little is a “lame duck” Manager or without a contract for next season,
4. Little was hired before Theo became the GM.

The facts lead to the conclusion that at the very least Theo is seriously evaluating Little and in all likelihood not very positively.
