How Not To Fire a Manager

Jim Caple has some helpful ideas for firings that would've been even worse than the Mets' of Willie Randolph. My favorite idea:

Waking him up in the middle of the night in his hotel room and telling him that you need to speak to him first thing in the morning about something very, very important, but you can't tell him what right now because you don't want to ruin his night's sleep, then adding that, oh, he probably should avoid ordering an InDemand movie or room service for breakfast or using the minibar unless he's willing to pay for it himself.
Isn't that what the Padres did to Larry Bowa?
