Bobby Cox should have won more World Series titles, but he's still one hell of a manager. Baseball needs more guys like this. He will certainly be missed.

You're 100% right!Comment -
I wish he had gone out for a better send off last night, but it looked like he didn't want the spotlight on him. He might not have won several World titles, but 13 straight division titles will never be matched again.Comment -
0-8 in home deciding playoff games
thats says it all
huge huge underachieverComment -
Piniella and Cox retired. GL to both.Comment -
Both losers
Cox has always been a drunk too
Glad he is gone, now Braves might have a shot to winComment -
F him!!! He's a Brave!! Go Phils!!Comment -
Players reactions to managers leaving always tells the story.
Guy was better than we will ever know.Comment -
He had his ups and downs in baseball and in life. But he was respected by his players and throughout the league.Comment -
Likable guy, a player's manager
he did less with more tho
good luck to himComment -
You guys are crazy
Cox severely underachieved in the 90's
Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz? 1 World Series? FAIL
His pitching staff made his job easy as hellComment -
Not the greatest game manager I've seen, but a great players manager and a great person.
I shed a tear or two during his postgame press conference, won't be the same without him next year, but I'm content with Freddi Gonzalez.Comment -
Seems like a good guy but definitely underachieved with the talent he was givenComment -
14 straight divisions......... that will never be matched.Comment -
as a mets fan i've hated bobby cox for years, but there's no way around the fact the guy is a class act and a top notch manager. he can manage my team anytimeComment -
I'm a lifelong fan of the Braves and I will miss Bobby Cox, but a lot of his success was due to John Shuerholtz (The GM who loaded up our roster with stud pitchers).Comment -
Time for a change in AtlantaComment -
Defenitely a class act. He will make the hall.Comment -
They performed pretty close to their payroll over the last 20 years when they had one of the top 2 - 3 payrolls in the game they were one of the top 2 - 3 teams in baseball. When Turner lost a big chunk of his money and eventually sold the team they became a team with a payroll closer to the average and they suddenly became an average team. At least this year Cox was able to take a team to the playoffs for the first time without a top payroll.Comment -
bobby cox the players manager!!Comment -
Today's version of Earl Weaver. Both 1-3 in World Series and should have won more.
Earl lost to the Mets as a huge favorite, and led one of the biggest collapses in history, losing a 3-1 lead to the Pirates in 1979, losing final two at home. Year after he retired, Birds won the World Series.
Both good managers, but too many missed chances with great talent.Comment -
Bye Bobby! I will miss you!!Comment -
Happy trails to you Bobby.
