World Series Champs in 2008
If Pat Gillick takes my advice, I promise the Phillies will win the World Series in 2008. Buck Showalter was fired as manager of the Texas Rangers today and the year after he is fired that team always wins the World Series. So next year's champ will be the Texas Rangers. If the Phillies hire Showalter for 2007 and then fire him regardless after the season, they will win the World Series in 2008. It is all so simple and the hard questions of finding a new third basemen, corner outfielder, and pitching would not need to be addressed. Just fire Showalter as the manager and the Phillies will win it all in 2008.
