I lived in Cincinnati for 9 years. The Brewers were in the AL at the time, so I was a combo Brewers/Reds fan. Still have a rooting interest in the franchise. I am so surprised that they fired Bell, because they have a very conservative front office. The feeling at Redszone is that while Bell wasn't very good, he had little to work with, and the ownership is terrible as well. Not a lot of hope that they will make a hire to turn things around. There is a contingent that thinks Barry Larkin will come out of the booth to manage. I think that would be terrible, but the franchise loves them some hometown/legacy managers.
