On Monday August 9th Don Wakamatsu realized that he had been wrong about the picture Rob Johnson had when Jack Z called to inform him he had been fired. As it turned out the man in the picture was Don and the other figures were bench coach Ty Van Burkleo, pitching coach Rick Adair and performance coach Steve Hecht. Some how Rob Johnson had managed to snap some pictures of the four of their intimate weekend together in Leavenworth. Upon learning he had been demoted Rob sent a copy of the picture priority mail to GM Jack Z, which all but sealed Wakamatsu's fate.
That or the Mariner's front office got sick of watching a terrible baseball team play with even worse fundamentals. Constant base running errors, poor lineup construction, and confusing pitcher usage wears on anyone.
