Episode 219: No Shildt, Cardinals

As Han Solo once said, "This is not how I thought this day was going to go."  Stunning news out of St. Louis this afternoon as Mike Shildt was fired as manager.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) is joined by the Bens of Cardinals Off Day, Mr. Godar (@bengodar) and Mr. Humphries (@b_g_h) to talk about this surprising turn of events.  What could be the cause of these "philosophical differences"?  What impact does a manager have a team these days anyway?  Who will be the 51st manager of the Cardinals and will Mike Shildt manage anywhere else?  All these questions are tackled, if not answered, and then some in an episode that focuses just on this topic, leaving the hot button topic of projected arbitration salaries painfully neglected.
