Braves fire manager Fredi Gonzalez with majors' worst record (Yahoo Sports)

The Atlanta Braves on Tuesday fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, who couldn't survive the worst record in the majors. Braves general manager John Coppolella confirmed the firing of Gonzalez, in his sixth season. The Braves are in the midst of a dismal stretch: They have lost two straight and eight of 10, have baseball's worst record at 9-28 and already are 13 1/2 games out of first place in the NL East.
