Former Mariners manager Bob Melvin was relieved of his duties as skipper of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, just proving that M’s fans were right all along.

Bryan Price, ex-pitching coach for your Seattle Mariners, opted to go down with the sinking ship, as well. He resigned on his accord following Melvin’s ouster.

Remember when B0-Mel was supposed to the be the wunderkind that was going to lead Arizona to the promised land? In reality, he’s just another fringe manager with a boring personality and little talent at lineup tinkering. Seattle is vindicated.

How ’bout Brannywood? Here’s your chance at a sponsorship deal, Oat Bran.

Maybe Dannywood? In honor of former Dodger outfielder Danny Heep, of course.

Channywood? Free admission if your last name is Chan.

Fannywood? Put your fanny where the Dodgers’ wood is.

Trannywood? Maybe a better option in San Francisco.

All I know is, the Dodgers need to do something to capitalize on this lost opportunity. Damn it, Manny.

From the movie Happy Gilmore. Bob Barker (playing himself) gets in a fistfight with Happy (Adam Sandler), and handily kicks his ass.
