Roy Bledsoe has been terminated as the manager of the St. Louis Pioneers and he's certainly not happy about it.
"I had a great rapport with the players and I did everything that was asked of me from the front office. I think it's a terrible decision and one the team will regret," said Bledsoe, who was informed of his dismissal today by the team's owner. "I jumped through hoops for this organization and this is how I'm repaid?"
"I'm sure Roy will be okay once he cools off and steps back from the situation a bit," Pioneers GM Jackson told BNN. "It just gets to a point where you can't just let things keep going as they are. Eventually you've got to try to make some change and hope it is for the better." |  | Skipper Patterson Shown the Door in Washington

The Washington Eagles and Roger Patterson have parted ways. It was announced today by club officials that Roger Patterson had been dismissed as the team's manager.
Eagles GM Boone told reporters that "certain goals were mutually agreed upon this season and, in our estimation, they have not been reached. Our team has not made the progress we were promised."
Patterson told BNN that he is "proud of what has been accomplished in my tenure as the Eagles manager. We have a better club now than when I first got here. I'm just sorry it ended this way." | | |
