What a funny caricature. Except, I don't believe that John Russell is deliberately managing poorly. I think he is working long hours. But, his record as a manager is 159-252 at this time, with a .387 percentage. I know the Pirates don't have as much talent as most major league teams. But nevertheless most small market teams win at a better clip than the Pirates under John Russell. So, I expect the owner or GM of the Pirates to give in to fans who want a different manager.
