I'm guessing you've already read Jeff Zrebiec's interview with Dave Trembley, which is in today's print edition and on the Web site right here. Dave doesn't exactly split the atom, but it was long past time for him to give his side of the story.
If you were expecting him to come out swinging, you don't know Dave. He's a very proper guy when it comes to the protocol of professional baseball. He did say that he was disappointed with the way he found out about his impending dismissal, but had nothing but good things to say about the organization and new manager Buck Showalter.
I know that even the mention of Trembley here is going to bring out another burst of venom from all the people who think that the Orioles would be a .500 team right now if he had been dismissed at the end of last season, but he was always a decent guy and he did pretty much what he was brought in to do -- other than win with a team that had almost no chance to win more than 40 percent of its games.
That's your cue, Bob. Go to town.
