    News Flash: Mike Hargrove Quits
    Something smells fishy here IMO.... Why in the world would you quit when your doing an outstanding job

    Mariners manager Hargrove is resigning

    By Larry Stone

    Seattle Times staff reporter

    In a stunning development, Mariners manager Mike Hargrove is resigning, the Seattle Times has learned.

    The Mariners have called a major press conference at Safeco Field for 11:30 this afternoon.

    No details were immediately available on the reason for Hargrove's resignation, which comes during the Mariners' best stretch of baseball since he was hired prior to the 2005 season. The Mariners have won seven games in a row and stand 11 games over .500 at 44-33.

    They have moved into contention in both the AL West race, where they trail the Angels by four games, and in the wild-card race, where they are one game behind Detroit.

    Bench coach John McLaren would be the likely choice to replace Hargrove as manager.

    I've always believed Hargrove to be one of the most overated/worst long term managers out there. Saying that tho, he finally had this M's team playing good ball (or maybe he was just in the right spot at the right time). This timing is very very strange so it will be interesting to see the details as they unfold.

        I just don't understand this. His team is a playoff contender at this time, and something like the best record since May 22nd.
