McClendon out as Pirates' manager
Tuesday, September 06, 2005
By Paul Meyer, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pittsburgh Pirates, heading for a record 13th consecutive losing season, fired manager Lloyd McClendon today. McClendon presided over five of those losing seasons since being named manager in October 2000.
Pete Mackanin, 54, the Pirates bench coach, will manage the team for the rest of the season, Pirates General Manager Dave Littlefield said at an afternoon press conference at PNC Park.
"This is a difficult day for the Pirates since Lloyd has been a loyal member of our organizations for 15 years," Littlefield said. "However, this is a very important time for our franchise, and from a baseball standpoint we believe we needed to make a change."
The Pirates indicated they would be looking for somebody with big-league managerial experience to replace McClendon.
"Our execution wasn't improving. I think we've under performed, and at this point in time we need to move forward," Littlefield said.
Mackanin, the bench coach for three years, joined the Pirates in 2001 and was manager of the Hickory Class A team that season. In 2002, he led Lynchburg to the Carolina League title, and he managed in the Venezuelan Winter League the past two years. His record is 917-849 in 13 years as a minor league manager.
"I feel terrible for Mac. It's been a difficult last couple of weeks," Mackanin said. He indicated he would make a few changes, but he wasn't specific. "I don't have a magic bullet. We'll try a few different things."
When asked if he would be interested in the permanent job, he answered: "Yes."
"I have aspired to be a major league manager. I'm happy that Dave Littlefield thinks I can handle the chore for the rest of this season."
If the Pirates lose tonight's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team would clinch a 13th consecutive losing season. It also would tie for the fourth-longest drought in Major League baseball history. The Philadelphia Phillies set the record at 16 in 1933-48.Eat Us And Smile - The Originals
