This is a conspiracy...that's what this is!

Dave Trembley is getting fired.

Juan Samuel (the Orioles 3rd base coach) is replacing him.

Wednesday night, I flipped on the Yankee game, and happened to see Miguel Tejada get thrown out at the plate with one out in the 8th inning of a game the Orioles trailed 8-1. It was base running play that reeked of Angel Pagan-ness.

This kind of base-running stupidity is exactly the kind of thing that should get a manager fired.

The problem? Tejada was waived home by....Juan Samuel, the Orioles new manager!

Granted, the writing had been on the wall about Trembley's firing for some time. But is it possible Samuel sent Tejada to seal Trembley's fate? I hope not.

I report, you decide...
