RUBEN AMARO GONE!
Holy shit! It finally happened. Ruben is gone. I can’t explain the feeling of relief and hope when I saw this tweet while eating a bowl of shredded wheat.
#Phillies announced today that the club has elected not to extend the contract of Senior Vice President & General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr.

Cue the celebrations!
The team has named Assistant General Manager Scott Proefrock as Interim General Manager, effective immediately.

Hallelujah! Free at Last! Ding Dong the Witch is Dead! Scream whatever you love to scream in celebration. I hate calling for people’s jobs, but Ruben made it easy because he’s been pompous and arrogant towards the Phillies fans for years.
Thank you, Andy MacPhail for doing what needed to be done. I’m relieved that I don’t have to give up my season tickets this year.
Thank you, John Middleton for pushing this new direction forward.
Football season starts and Ruben is out as GM? What a sports day! I hope Ruben finds a gig doing something and earns a paycheck. I’m just stoked that it won’t be as GM of the Phillies.
Now what am I going to write about? E-A-G-L-E-S!
Let’s have one more look at Ruben:
