Yamada fired, Hara should be Fired?
I heard that Yamada had been fired this week.

Will Hara follow Yamada?

Highly doubtful. Giants don't like to fire their former icons. Plus, the Giants have been using the "everyone's injured" excuse all season.

Today's paper did say that the Giants are replacing Katori Head Coach with Sudoh head coach. Sudoh was the head coach under Nagashima, as well as under Higashio with the Lions for a few years. Because, you know, the Head Coach determines how well teams play.

The Hanshin Tigers Page has a related comment about Hara-kantouku:
With Yomiuri looking at a possible fifth-place finish and rumors swirling that manager Tatsunori Hara's job could be in jeopardy if the team is swept in the three-game series, the Giants offered little resistance as the Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings.

Hara resigned. He will be replaced by Horiuchi. I heard a rumor that Yomiuri may ask Etoh to step down as well.
