Whatever happens happens, but it's far from a tragedy (even by sports standards).

Yeah, those manager/player relationships are kind of important. It's part of winning games, especially when you come to the pressures and fatigue of September. When a team has the hugest September collapse in history, you have to consider the guy who's running things on the field....where the games were lost.
