Pena resigns
The Indians lost again tonight, but the news in baseball is that Tony Pena has resigned as manager of the Royals. Tony was AL Manager of the year just two seasons ago, but the Royals have have been dreadful the past two seasons, losing 104 games last year and winning only eight of their first 32 games (three of those wins have been against the Indians).
I have always had a good feeling for Pena, ever since 1994, when he became the backup catcher on some of the best teams in Indians history.
His homer off Zane Smith in game one in the 1995 ALDS was a moment to remember. I hope Tony gets a chance to manage again, because I can't imagine the Royals are his fault.
