Narron Removed
I guess you can call July 1, 2007 Black Sunday. Hargrove resigns, and late last night Jerry Narron loses his job with the Reds. Not only do the Reds own the worst record in the Majors, but they are underperforming their Pythagorean projection by five games. Last year, Narron had the Reds in contention, but the team could not stay on top of the NL Central very long and faded at the end of the season as Houston surged.
Pete Mackanin will manage the Reds for the rest of the year.
